I look at it like this.
43 yrs ago my balance beam alone cost $35 and it was maybe 2/3 of my weekly wage. No electrons in it nothing in the realm of R&D. Fast forward to being an E scales convert. I would recommend spending similar money.
I went the whole hog but I had reasons.
For a really reliable set up as a person who enjoys reloading I would get a Hornady vibra trickler and a J series AnD scale.
