The good, the bad, and the ugly...

I wasn't sure which forum this would fit best, but as it concerns all scales I hoped it would be a question best asked in the Lounge. I have compiled a list of brands I have encountered and I found some sources which listed a few as 'better than most,' and/or best, but no list provided a means by which to determine whether or not the consensus was top of the list or so/so. I searched TDZ for such an item and did not find it, either. So, I will post what I have here, and maybe the pros can provide a better idea of how the brands stack up in order of quality and cost. Perhaps such a list could provide benefit for all members? I am posting two very short lists I found, and an .rtf file with a text list of the brands I have encountered, so far. In spite of the high praise offered for Spark, I am not that impressed with their handiwork. Style and finish are nice, but getting the overall dimensions wrong to such a degree is a deal-breaker for me. However, this list should not be just about what I like, but how the brands actually rank against each other.
