Default Dakota Digital Gauges, anyone used them?

Hey guys,
I'm looking at a Dakota Digital boost gauge for my car, love the looks of them. I think it would fit in nicely with my Autometer cobalt A/F Gauge.

Fairly expensive, about $137 with the sending unit.

I like this one:


but this one looks less "rice"



Anyone use them or ever heard of them?

I've heard of and used them - no complaints here, but for boost use, you don't want to rely on a digital gauge since rapidly changing digits are hard for the human eye to read. They're great for all other gauges, just not boost (and fuel pressure). My advice? Dump the A/F gauge since it's useless, and get an analog boost and oil pressure gauge that match.

Oil temperature has to be high up there also.

I used them many, many years ago when they were cyberdyne. They sure have gotten prettier since then but worked well.
