I've used both Starrett and Mitutoyo mikes a fair bit at work and I much prefer Mitutoyo . Having said that, my 0-6" and 0-100mm sets are both Polish VIS. It's much nicer to use the right size mike instead of changing the anvil like I have to do with my 6-12" Lufkin. After cleaning and adjusting them, the VIS ones are good, they zero. They are friction thimbles instead of the more common ratchet. Nicer in use but a real pain to adjust. Something about the price affected my choice, chuckle. My son uses the Chinese copies of the Swiss made ones, also with no complaints, in fact he's quite happy with them. At work ,he had to buy his own, so may be price had something to do with his choice, too.
