Default Wide Band Lambda...Experts please???

Now ive heard that many of the Fuel/Air ratio meters you can buy to go in the car are pants, cos they dont read a wide range.

If this is right, is there any benefit from using a wide band lambda as they seem to be going quite cheap in places?

Or dont they work like that

Cheers.

Doesn't even cost much if you assemble it yourself.

I have hooked it up to the fuel injection ecu and then that to the laptop. So only indirectly. Nevertheless, the values can be datalogged.
