How has been your experience with DROPros?

Ditron glass scales are excellent. EMS magnetic scales are good, full size Ditron magnetic scales are at best passable, Ditron mini magnetic scales are hot garbage.

Thanks for the clarification. My Ditron glass scales are great, but that's all I have as a point of reference.

DRO Pro’s just told me they’d sell the EMS scales individually so I asked for a price.

I guess I’ll see if they get back to me and go from there.

You're lucky. I tried to purchase a DRO kit for my mill and the arrogance and attitude at DRO Pros was just oozing when I was mistaken for someone else that had been harassing them (same first name and I write "really" in my emails). It should have been a warning sign when the person helping me wanted to argue that I was wrong about the Y-axis travel distance on my Lagun FT-1. This was in August, had the most bizarre exchange that resulted in me choosing Aikron from Machine Tools. I had no problems, no BS, and paid considerable less - not CA $$$$, going Aikron. The real cost will be in your time drilling holes and mounting to your machine. I realize this might be water under the bridge and maybe I'm an anomaly, but after a few ugly exchanges, it was clear DRO Pros was NOT for me- even though they are a 30 minute drive away.

They never replied so I’m going to wind up going with something else.
