Welcome to the site! You really can't go wrong with any of those three. I had an Edge and loved it, upgraded to the Gryphon custom tunes and they are even better. I like the Edge or Gryphon for the gauges in the monitor. If the gauges are not something you will use, then the SCT is a great choice. Of course, SCT does make the unit now with gauges, but I think it is more dollars.

Yup, what Jim said. The SCT Gauge version is the SCT Livewire. Can't go wrong with either. I like keeping an eye on things, the gauges were what sold me on the gryphon... and Jim's help

Welcome!
Bite the bullet and go with custom tunes.
Either a Gryphon or SCT xcal3.

Not a bad way of putting things in perspective, MGD! I'd tend to equate it with bottles of a good single malt though.
