Scale reccomendations

in Getting in Shape
So I've said it before, I don't love scales or the belief that progress is all about numbers. HOWEVER, I would like to weight myself throughout my NROL4W journey to track whether or not I need to reduce/increase my calorie intake etc.  The scale I have now gave me THREE different consecutive reading this morning--and I mean they were off by like 4 lbs at a time!!! 
I need suggestions for a good home scale.  One that I can half way rely on to give me accurate readings...please let me know if you have a scale that you trust!

    Make sure to move your scale away from the wall so your weight is distributed on it evenly.  We push ours up against the wall and when I weigh myself like that, its about 5-7 pounds less.  And while I love that number more, I get a more realistic reading when I move it about 8 inches away from the wall. 

    I use this scale:

    I like it because it fits in with the decor of our bathroom.  It doesn't do anything fancy like measure body fat, save previous weight, etc.  But it gives me consistent readings.  Once I was convinced that the scale was giving me the wrong weight so I moved it from room to room, waited 30 minutes and weighed myself again, and it was always the same...

    I have a taylor digital scale that measures fat%, water% and muscle%. I got it for like 30$ at costco and I love it. I can hop on 3 different times and get the EXACT same info each time. Its a glass scale so it has to be on a hard surface.

    I got it for Christmas one year (hint, much?) I like it. It is supposed to measure body fat percentage and all that shiz, but I've never got to that point. In fact, I should probably figure that out.

    I've got this one:

    I'd done some research and read that Tanita was a "good" name, but I'm having my doubts.  I haven't check accuracy yet.
