If the scales are compatible. I would say go for it. Shop around for the price though; MSC is a lot (1.5-5x) more expensive than other places IME.

Would highly suggest
DRO Pros for a new DRO. We bought 3 sets(2 mill, 1 lathe) from them and have been very happy with them.
If you need additional scales for your Mitutoyo read out you can find reasonably priced replacement scales on eBay. You will need to know what model, size, and PLUG you need. Do not buy a replacement scale unless you are SURE it is the right plug and type. You may also want to buy new rubber guard strips if they are looking beat up and old.
