Stringreen, , I agree with you with one exception (and provided that one's Shure balance is made from non-magnetic material... some aren't).
The exception is anyone who swaps out cartridges frequently. They may benefit from a scale that provides precise, repeatable results, as it allows rapid dialing in of the known, preferred VTF for a particular cartridge. Tweaking by ear is quicker if you start within .01g or so of the ideal.
Horses for courses, of course.
