FA Powder Dispenser or other similar powder dispensers

Wanting feedback from those who have used either the regular Frankford Arsenal INTELLIDROPPER or the INTELLIDROPPER 2.0. Is it consistent? Anything around that same price range that will be better? I've been extremely happy with other FA products.

I don't care about measuring past tenth a grain on this thing. I normally load my match loads on a Parker tuned scale after dropping a load about a tenth below and tricking up with a dandy. Using a chargemaster lite now but wanting opinions on a newer unit.
 
My FA Intel constantly drops 0.1gr under whats called for. I do the powder calibration 2x to get it set right. I also turn it on about 30 min before loading. So I just keep a manual trickler right there. And it seems to do it the longer you use it.

I had an original RCBS chargemaster. It was always perfect. You just had to turn it on at least 30min to an hour before using. I could go over a hundred charges and maybe get one over throw.
 
They all claim pretty much are +/- .1
I tried the lyman and th CM lite.
Lyman kept wearing out seals and leaked fine ball powders which locked up the tube.
RCBS CM lite has worked great for me however...... when i checked it with my S203 balance i found it went as far as .18 gr off set weight a few times but mainly stayed .15 gr or less which could mean a .3 gr variation.
Went back to beam scale and never looked back. I finally tried the cheap looking Lee safety scale and found it was superbly accurate and sensitive. I shelved my redding, rcbs scales and been happy as a clam.
Never tried the FA
