Digital gauges have that 'cool' factor when you see them added into the dash of a custom car that you might see at a 'World of Wheels' show, etc. But, actually using them as something for a car that you want to drive is a different thing entirely. With an analog gauge, all you need to do is give a quick glance at a gauge to note the location of the gauge needle. But, for a digital gauge, your brain has to read the digits, then compute what that means to the characteristic being displayed by the gauge. Now, if you have 5 or 6 gauges to view and interpret how the car is operating....good luck with that. Not something I'd want in a 'working' car.
Just something you might think about, before you dump a grand or more into new gauges.

Sorry guys...
It's a "NSV" or "Non-supporting vendor" and I got my hands slapped last time for mentioning them even in a veiled manner...
