tracking force problem

I have a rega p9 tt with the rb1000 arm and rega ELYS 2 cartridge. The tt was set up by a rega dealer and the tracking force was set on the arm at the 1.75 g setting (recommeded for that cart). I recently bought a digital tracking force gauge and I had to adjust the arm to the 1.5 g level to get a 1. 75 reading on the digital reader. In short, is this normal....i expected minor tweaking only.....should i believe the digital gauge or the settings on the rega arm? Also, does this even matter is .25 g not even matter anyway?

Try swinging the arm away from the platter temporarily. This allows you to create a separate platform next to the platter on which you can set the weighing machine at the same level as the platter.
I have a really cheap Haddaways (e-bay seller) electronic weighing machine which is accurate. I figured it was easier to do the above than changing the VTA by the height of the machine (something Fremer forgets to do on his DVD!).
I worked this out on my own so please, if anyone sees that this might not be accurate or have a better method, I'm open to feedback!
