which one would you go with?

so there are at least four a/f gauge's out there now that are worth a damn. there is the inovative one, the AEM, wideband commander, and now auto meter has one that is similar to the AEM.
i see the inovative one has more features than the rest, and the w.b. commander is an anoalog(i don't really care for that one for that reason alone) as far as i can tell the AEM, and autometer are the same, but just don't have programmable, recordable features.
what i want to know is, which one's do you guy's think are good and why, and which one is most recomended?(maybe rate them individualy somehow)
i hope i'm not asking too much. i just want to spend my money wisely.

Autometer has promised there unit for about 8 months and keeps postponing, the Inovative unit is a solid piece and allows you to datalog, AEM is bang for the buck for 225.00 plus dollors you can get into a wideband and the Wideband Commander is also a solid piece, the bottom line is do you need to datalog? Whats your buget? Do you like the looks of one over the other? One you did not mention is the new FAST setup, available with a single or daul sensor input about 400.00 bills for the single - 500.00 for the daul, whatever you chose from the list above they all work well.

thanx todd, i'm guessing that the datalog feature is good if i'm highly competitive with the truck (corect me if i'm wrong). all i simply want to do is be able to monitor my a/f. as far as the fast unit, i was totally unaware of that one. i'll have to check that one out.

For a simple setup with a view only capability, the AEM is cheap and will fill the bill, another one to check out is FJO, it offers much higher quality and just about every possible feature but you pay for it, the FAST unit is my fav, while it does not use a gauge mount it offer alot- datalogs internally so no need to laptop to review a run, ability to run a right and left bank sensor, can display both seperate or average the two sensor readings on the display.

I went with the Innovate XD-16/LC-1 set-up and I couldn't be happier. It looks great and is very accurate.
