Gordon has likely had more experience with different brands of digital calpers than I , but I have personally had very good luck with Mitutoyo. I bought a pair of Digimatic calipers when they were first introduced in the early '80s. There were other brands available but Mitutoyo was the only one with a fast enough clock speed that they wouldn't lose count with a quick move of the slide. At that time I was a full time machinist and used that same pair of calipers every day for the next 15 years. They never failed but eventually got so beat up that it was hard to read the numbers and I replaced them with the pair I'm using today. From my experience, I would rate them on the same level as my Etalon micrometers, the best money can buy.
