Of course using a scale is always safer, but not nearly as convenient.

they have translucent tanks you can actually see through (fiberglass). I am sure they are stupid expensive but pretty cool

Blue Rino is 14.99 at the walmart nearest me. I go through about 6 tanks a year so I think I am wasting only 20$ a year at most for the convenience. I always exchange late in the evening when it is quiet and quick.
We hope to redo our patio soon so I really want to use hardmounted nat gas.
