Really it's mostly down to personal preference on how the gauge looks. The MTX comes with a white and black dial.

Most of them do the same thing, and if you arent specifically using it for tuning, it hardly matters.
Although Ive tuned cars with the MTX and never had any issue with them at over 600+

But Ive never used AEM or Stack so cant comment on them.

And plenty of companies have won awards, and plenty of car makers win awards. It really doesnt mean that much

And as for looks...

Doe AEM or any other maker even make a matching set of gauges anyway ? ie boost, fuel pressure or whatever else you might wish to use ?

If the AEM ticks all your boxes and looks the way you want it, just buy the AEM

One issue I can see from a logging point of view is it looks like their analogue out is limited.

0-5v analog output Gasoline values from 10 to 20:1 AFR
Now you should never need a range richer than 10, but it can be handy for diagnostic purposes. If it flatlines at 10:1, you'd never know if it was 10, 9, 8, whatever.

The Innovate's is fully programmable over the entire AFR range it can display which is down to 8:1 or so, and has two such flexible outputs.

Visually, is there really that much difference between the AEM and Innovate anyway ? black for black, and white for white ?
The AEM is a little nicer, but really not a lot different. You could probably fir the AEM cover onto the Innovate lol.
