Stylus force digital scales

Digital scales from Clearaudio and others range from $200-500. Amazon has 'em for $20. Why cant I use one of these instead and save big bucks?

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I have been using this stylus gauge for the last year, it's $14 shipped. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XC2AQN4/ I have a set of calibration weights (I use the 1g and 500mg weights) that I use to check it is accurate, so far it's been perfect each time I have tested it. These kinds of measurements devices have been figured out some time ago, no need to spend a lot of money for a digital scale.

I had a friend bring over his Ortofon DS-3 and it read exactly the same with my cart. My Delos is supposed to be at exactly 1.72 for it's best, so I'm trying to make sure it's as accurate as possible.
