Although a totaslly different scale, check out http://www.myscale.com/

For a specific recommendation, type in 6001 (or 3001) in the search
box for a 6Kg (or 3Kg) scale. They have all the bells & whistles I need
like a tare function and you can switch between oz, lbs & oz, grams or Kg &
g, all from the front of the scale.

I would not order the white one with the black 'stripes'. I think those
rubber stripes would be hard to keep clean. I have the blue 3001 and have
had it for a few years. I love it.
