yeah if a refractometer is calibrated it's bang on. I find a refractometer much faster and I don't bruise my finger flicking bubbles off a swing needle.
Also a refractometer only needs 2 drops of fluid. Great when you're testing the salinity of creatures you're acclimating vs. tank water. It's kinda hard to submerge a hydrometer fully in a bag of snails only filled 1/4 full with water :P

I started out with a hydrometer and it was always off, it wouldn't read the same thing twice in the space of 5 minutes so I switched to a refractometer...

I like my refractometer, I had little faith in my hydrometer being right as I was always getting bubbles in it. I just don't have the patience to flick them all out
