Since DEXA is considered the most accurate, and I couldn't afford that, I went with BodPod based on these studies:

Comparison of methods for assessing body composition changes during weight loss
At least I now will be able to accurately track my process every 3 months using a method that is much more reliable than calipers or the omron.
