Got a milling machine and a surface grinder? If so, start making your own scribers and sell off the extra ones for more than you paid.
Honestly I can't understand why so many of the same type thing, though that is quite a sight to see. What strange is that none of them can take the head down to the surface without a dog-leg style scriber. Look at the photos of mine. The tall Brown & Sharpe has an integral scriber, and it's base has a slot to allow it to go right down to the table. The shorter Mitutoyo has the base all out behind the slider so only a short dog-leg scriber is needed.
