Time to upgrade hygrometers....suggestions?

The Xikar 832 XI is my hygrometer of choice. I found them pretty cheap on amazon at 18 bucks a piece with free shipping so I bought 6 of them. I would love to have 6 more so I can place two in each humidor side by side to verify the accuracy at all times.

I have had the best luck with the round. Cbid usually has them for fifteen with the quickbuy, less if you bid. I have been doing the salt test, but lately I have been thinking about calibrating them with beads in a tupperware. It takes a little longer to level out, but I found that they are always dead on. For the record, I use heartfelts, but I have heard nothing but good things about the clay.
