Default tire mount and ballance, diff on machine or computer ballance ?? or is there a diff ??

Got a local guy here that will mount and ballance my front for me $18.00, but the ballance machine is some kinda centrifical machine ballancer, apparently they just throw a weight on the opposite side of the tire where ever it's wobbling off from, sound's kinda STONE AGE to me, never had a high speed bike tire put on before, so is there a better more sofisticated way to ballance the tire ???? don't want the tire not ballanced right and not get the right handling or ride.

Are you talking about one of these? If so I hear they are actually more accurate then a computer balancer if you take your time and know what you are doing.
