Hydrometer/Refractometer comparison

Most refractometers are accurate to plus or minus 1 point. Has anyone done a comparison for accuracy between the plastic hydrometer and a refractometer? How much difference was there? Thanks. Gary.
 
It's been discussed here before.

Some hydrometers are spot on, some are off by .005 or more.

That's the rub with the swing arm hydrometers, there is a higher chance of user error, with bubbles and such.

It's harder to screw up a refractometer reading.
