The WBC does look like a pretty good WB. I'm not really familiar with these types of systems. I am leaning more toward the Innovate LM-1 Kit with RPM Converter because I can log my A/F ratio throughout the RPM range and then remove the LM-1 unit and plug it into any computer to download the data I logged. I'm not sure, but the WBC looks like you would have to have a laptop to plug into the module under the dash to download the data. Am I wrong? Also, I like the way the Innovate has a digital screen where you can see what the A/F ratio is in real time and you don't have to guess by looking at the needle on the WBC's full sweep gauge. The other thing I like about the Innovate is that I can use it, tune my L, and then remove it. The WBC looks like more of a permanent kit. My plan would be to weld bungs into both banks, use the LM-1 to log data on both banks by switching the sensor from one to the other, and then remove the LM-1 and use the data to adjust my tune. Then I could just throw plugs in the bungs and box up the LM-1 Kit. Seems like the sensor would last a lot longer from not being permanently installed in the exhaust.
If I'm off base with my assessment, someone please correct me. Like I said, I'm no expert on these things. I'm not against the WBC at all. If it's a better option than the Innovate, please tell me how. Any info would greatly help me because I'm in the market for one of these things.

WBC logs all you need to tune with and the module can be removed for downloading. It has a 9v battery pigtail so you can use it on a desktop. You can also hook it up to a laptop via a serial cable and log real time that way while driving. The programmable warning light on the WBC is an easy way to realize any issues, the LED is bright no matter what and a good safety feature. I look at mine almost every time I go into open loop. Using two sensors would be cool but you can only tune the overall a/f ratio, not individual sides. Usually the drivers side is leaner for some reason and that's why most install the sensor there (including myself). If you just want a digital display then the AEM is the best bet.
Any WB with an analog output can be used in conjunction with an XCAL2 and livelink to datalog with as well and that setup is my personal favorite.
