The Ortofon gauge shipped with my Illustrious I consider a novelty item. :-) It is cute, but not too accurate by my estimation. My Shure was with 0.05 gr when compared with my friend's Winds gauge, but the Ortofon weighed 0.2 gr heavier than the Shure. Oy.
Lugnut, how is your friend liking his/her Illustrious?
