What takes me longer than anything else is measuring powder.

Any recommendations for an electronic dispenser with integral scale recommendations?

I think that "smokeless powder only!" warnings are crap.

Yes, it isn't pure like a Belding and Mull, but as Daffy Duck said, "I am lazy." And I have $ to spend.

There are a bunch of YouTube videos on these. I will look at those.   

I concur with the automatic ones being "good enough" to keep one out of danger. But, they did a good job when weighing charges of, say, 60-80 grs. where a tenth or two is statistically insignificant. 
That same tenth probably won't make dangerous loads, but may be enough to alter the load performance when you get down to under twenty grains. 
Either way, they ain't fast at all. When you trickle the whole thing, fast or slow, it takes time. Needless to tell, mine sits unused other than as a source of a spare scale to check on other ones.

The only folks I know who have kept and continue to use their electronic powder dispensers are those with an RCBS. I sold my PACT and use a B&M for BP and a Hornady press mounted/stroke activated powder dispenser for smokeless. But, I'm totally OCD about charges and measure every one (both BP & smokeless) on an electronic scale with a 0.02gr resolution. YMMV.

Dribbling up to weight on a scale never made any sense to me. Too slow and you can get sloppy accepting less than perfect . I did anyway. You can't weight at the shooting bench either. 

Way I do it is set my Harrell's measure for the exact charge desired. If it's a trouble powder like 4759 or 4350, never load them while shooting, throw into the beam balance scale pan. Put it on the scale and check weigh every charge. If it's light or heavy dump the powder in a separate container and throw another. Don't try to fix a faulty throw. Dumping and re throwing adds very little time to the loading process. Put the dumped powder back in the jug when through. 

Other thing is I use a Lyman beam balance scale calibrated with a set of check weights. Avoid anything battery operated in my shop. Don't trust anything that is not calibrated, throwback to my Hydrographic surveying days.  

Advantage to check weigh  is every throw is checked and you soon see what caused the bad one. After a while you can tell what's not going to weight correct before it goes on the scale by the way you operate the measure. Almost always inconsistent handle operation.

Done it enough I completely trust the Harrell's and 4227, don't trust it or any other measure B & M included with any longer grain powders. 

Not saying it's the method for everybody just it works for me.

accurate AND repeatable.

You won't be disappointed with the Chargemaster.  Keep a dryer static sheet handy if you build up a static charge, just wipe it down to eliminate any "wandering".  If it makes you feel better get an inexpensive set of check weights but mine has always been spot on.  I turned the "beep" function off about an hour after I got it!
