I have a tanita and I hate the thing. It works great for taking my weight but thats about it. Maybe I am kind of dumb but I get a 3-4% variation day to day regardless of how close I try to make the conditions surounding it.

A caliper will only be as accurate as the person taking the reading. Getting the right spot and using the right pressure are huge.
