I have actually begun to use a scraper in certain situations, and have good success with it. Unfortunately, all I have is fairly light duty scrapers. The one I use the most is the round end scraper in the 8 piece Pinnacle set.
But I'm thinking I want something beefier; IE thicker and wider that I can grind to my satisfaction. I got a look at a few, and WOW! at the prices... Over $100 for many of them.

Do any of you have recommendations on a beefy round end scraper that won't break the bank?
