I use it in conjunction with my other digital scale.
There's something weird going on in my reloading room that effects my scales. Even the 5-0-5 drifts...
I use a My Weigh i101 to measure and trickle, and then pour it into the 750 pan for double check. Lets me know when the i101 needs to be tared again, which is about every 10 charges. I tare the 750 every 2-3 charges. This method has caught over-charging errors of .2-.3 grains. Before I had the i101, the 750 would drift every 5-7 charges.

I have one and use it for weighing brass and it works well for that kind of work. Mine seems to hold zero for that task although I don't use it to weigh powder charges. It cost me a princely sum of $29.95. I remember seeing a post here that suggested dryer sheets could help with static electricity.

I had a Dillion digital scale, in time I found my old beam scale was less frustrating and more consistent. Gave the digital to a friend. Wish I had kept it for sorting brass and such.

That's exactly why I have stayed with my old beam scale for weighing powder charges. I find it less trouble to setup than a digital scale and I trust it to hold it's zero. For weighing brass though the digital is far more simple especially if you have brass where the weight falls between 218 - 221 grains. You have to fiddle with both the 1 grain poise and the 5 grain poise. And also when you have a case full of water it's far easier to weigh on the digital than trying to get it to set on the beam scale pan.
