UK seller for the Innovate.

I cant comment on the other brands. But I bought one of the MTX from Richard above, and the quality is excellent. All wiring and connectors throughout are top notch. A far cry from their troublesome LC-1
Easy to wire up and looks tidy when installed. Comes with a white and black face for the dial so you can change to suit, and LCD display is orange.

If the PLX one does have the multifunction gauge as standard, then that would be quite good. Although you need to buy expensive controllers for each display you wish to add

Impossible unless you're going to feed it with MAP, RPM, TPS etc signals.

going "lean" may only be a concern under certain circumstances. So no wideband only display is going to achieve that.

The other link looks ok, but there is no useful information on that advert. Just depends what sort of display you want really.

This Zeitronix may do what you want, but again, you'll need to supply it with more information.

It's more expensive, and the alarm unit is a further cost.

throw another into the mix, VEMS, you can add an EGT to it then, and you can log that info too.
just a shame there is only one analogue output though.
never let me down, easy to setup once you find the online manual.

innovate is good kit too, had one briefly as a backup, never really installed it to test it thoroughly.

The old LC-1's were troublesome. I wouldnt recommend them. The new MTX is much better, plus as the gauge is the controller it still leaves 2 fully configurable analogue outputs

I have the VEMs one, along with an EGT sensor, can't fault it. I have never used the datalogging though. It was called the A Fresh Tiny when I got mine, they only did it with the red display and silver bezel then. I think it is now called the Round and has a choice of display colour and bezel.

it is annoying the way sellers state they are UK sellers shipping from UK. I can see why they do it though.

But Ive bought from xenonlv before and 100% excellent service from them. And their prices are hard to beat for any of the stuff they sell.

Entirely up to you. It would be hard to say one is better than the other.
