I can comment on the scale. I have the Pact scale and dispenser combo but I have not had time yet to use the dispenser for anything significant so I will leave that up to someone else.

The scale is fast, accurate, easy to zero, and I have not had any problems with it in terms of errant readings due to air flowing around it, say from a air conditioning outlet. I have a de-humidifier that runs about 6 feet from it and stirs up the air, and it doesn't bother the scale. I do think, from reading all the warnings packed with it, that the load cell should be treated as a delicate device. I don't know it it would survive a fall from the bench onto concrete.

By the way, you are correct that Pact makes their version and the RCBS branded model. I have found the Pact to be advertised cheaper. I know that Midway has the combo on sale now.

Hope that helps a little.
