No, it is not intrinsically better. Lily has one of each. The 
mechanical one while a little bulkier, is the one she takes with her 
when she travels on overnights or to camp, where-ever.... it is 
much more portable simply because it does not have to be plugged in. 
The electronic one we have is no longer in production and the newer 
models do not use the same strain gauge technology and will not pass 
the 'plate' test unless you buy a very expensive one. Personally, 
I've found the rotary dial mechanical to be very reliable and easy to 
use. The electronic scale is very nice, you push a button to tare - 0 
and then weigh the food - slick. But I wouldn't spend several hundred 
dollars to duplicate it if I had to get another.
