Exactly- and I understand totally! I wouldn't get near those scales for a thousand bucks myself, but if I were buying it I could think of some people who would... but yes, I think the minimalist approach is always good! I would turn them into tortoiseshell powder with a buffer in about .025 milliseconds. Take THAT Google!
