Metrology tools. Decent quality, not too pricey?

I'm looking for some metrology tools. Up to now I've just used Horror Fright stuff. Well, my HF digital verniers are 0.4% absolute accuracy. I haven't checked the linearity etc... OK for crude measurements and comparison, but useless if I'm trying to build to a reasonable spec. I have found decent performance/price Chinese stuff in the UK, but don't know where to shop in the US for that. I could buy Brown and Sharpe, but I don't really want to pay for it. I'd like something 75% as good for 1/4 the price.

Don't worry, I'll be keeping HF plastic calipers kicking around. I don't get very upset when they have an accident. Or they are the only tool on hand to break into my truck when I lock the keys inside...
