hanna salinity tester/ and cheap refractometer

I bought a agricultural solutions refractometer when I first started my tank. I struggle to read the numbers on it and have found it to be inaccurate. I went ahead and bought a hanna salinity tester thinking it would be easier to use but I find myself constantly needing to calibrate the thing. I am running through the calibration solution. i'm on my second order from BRS in only a few months. My question is... is there a refractometer out there that's reasonably priced and accurate? What are you guys using? I'm not really trying to spend more than a couple hundred dollars here. I will spend a little more to insure accuracy. Thanks in advance for your help.
IMO Hanna salinity checker works great…IF you rinse it off after every time you use it. I have much better luck with this than I have any standard refractometer.
 
Good to see all the positive reviews for the Hanna. Just ordered one and was nervous after reading some of the reviews on Amazon but I figured a lot of it could be user error. Amazon seems to have a lot of that.
