Visbody M60 and T55 add optical 3D posture and circumferences to 8-electrode composition, and the T55 adds AI movement screening and fitness tests. If you want a compact composition analyser, Tanita is a strong candidate. If you want a broader assessment in one session, look at Visbody. This is a comparison of scope, not of accuracy.
