Which to believe...Milwaukee Refractometer or Tropic Marin High Precision Hydrometer?

I'm so sorry...I originally incorrectly stated the Hydrometer was 1.035 above when it IS ACTUALLY 1.0235. And the Refractometer is 1.022. Still...quite different. I corrected my original post above to say 1.0235. It sounds like the Milwaukee, while convenient, is not as accurate as I was hoping (for the cost). It sounds like I should trust my hydrometer most.

Allow the tank water to get to same temp as milwaukee instrument. Do reads 30 secs apart on same sample until stabile

I use the Tropic Marin hydrometer every time. I don't trust the Milwaukee at all since I have had 2 that were both off by a good amount. The Milwaukee also never read the proper temperature which I'm sure had a lot to do with the inaccurate readings.
