Larry,

When you say the beam is near zero what do you mean? Do you have calibration weights to use and see which scale is the most accurate? I have a cheap 505 beam scale that came in a kit with a rcbs press and it's small and takes a while to stop moving when I weigh something. I have been looking at trying to get an Ohaus 10-10 or an electronic scale myself but keep hearing there are accuracy issues with the electronic scales. I'd order some calibration weights and see which one is accurate.
