The one "problem" is the vernier poise. Some can't/won't learn to read the vernier scale so it's harder to use. It's drawbacks? It's not green. It's different. and it does look "cheap" when side by side with a $$$$ scale.

I have a green Lee Safety Scale, with the original box, too. I have no idea how old it is, but it looks (except for the color) exactly like ones of current manufacture.
When I got my Lee Scale (in a trade), I had been used to the RCBS 10-10 and was spoiled. I hated the Lee, even though I am familiar with verniers. Then I got hold of the instructions for the Lee. I hate it much less now.
Set it on a securely mounted shelf in strong light and at eye level so you can get your face close to it. It will perform admirably.
