PLX widebands
I took a quick search and looked over the various wideband threads but didn't see anybody chime in on PLX products. I'm specifically looking at the DM-100. It certainly can do a lot but in one of their demo videos it seemed like the LCD screen was slow to react to AFR changes.
Anybody have one of these that can comment?

FWIW, I have given the PLX products a good look. I like the programmable gauges and value thresholds.
Unfrotunately, unless something has changed, PLX claims no need for "free air" calibration of the WBO2 sensor, despite their using the Bosch (maybe now, NTK) sensors. The specs on these sensors specifically list "free air" calibration in order to use the sensors in a range of good accuracy outputing real values. After looking at non-linear output voltages of the sensor over the range of AFR's, the need to calibrate made too much sense to not consider the need to do it.
FWIW, I use a Techedge WBO2 when tuning (no affiliation).

How about Innovative Motorsports? Is their LC-1 with their XD-10 display good? I'm considering that in combination with TECGT from Electromotive later on to monitor the injection.
