You missed the next paragraph I wrote, then, where I noted that doing a
mix-by-weight would be problematic in a boat, with wave motion throwing
off the accuracy of the scale.  I've blended nitrox between dives out on
Lake Ontario before.  For my personal mixing rig, I'd spend the money on
a good gauge that I can use in a boat first.  I'll leave the weight
procedure to people who are always going to be mixing on dry land under
controlled conditions and want dead-on accuracy every time regardless of
thermal considerations.
