I love my My Weigh 7001DX. It is a great deal for the money -- try to
find another scale with 7kg range and 1g precision over the whole
range. Mine survived having coffee poured over it. I had to dry it
out thoroughly, but it still works and I confirmed that it's still
accurate with a 200g lab weight. The buttons occasionally stick a
little since the coffee incident, though, but a little wiggling
usually works.

If I were going to buy another one right now, I think I'd shell out a
few more bucks and get one that's more sealed against liquids, like
the KD-7000 (same range and precision as the 7001DX, but more
gunk-proof). I also have a 0.1g precision model -- the Triton T2 550
-- which I use for weighing things like salt, yeast, baking soda, etc.
(Obviously, the only one relevant to sourdough would be salt.) It can
do 0.1g all the way up to 550g, so I sometimes use it even for bigger
jobs.
