I can't say from personal experience but I've heard nothing but satisfaction from DRO Pros.
I'm a lttle bit nervous about my Mitutoyo XY on my mill.
It does some flashing of the display (orange neon?) and it'll work with very lmited travel and then sends the EEEE message.
I'm gonna unmount the scales and clean things up and see if that helps.
The only thing I hate about DRO is when it craps out you have to go back to reading dials and doing things in a constant direction.
The first important job I did after I installed the DRO went like a dream, I just followed the drawings like I was a cnc computer.
We do get spoiled by technologic advances.
