Default Aftermarket TPMS or not?

Can anybody recommend to install an aftermarket TPMS solution?
Is it worth $200 or so?

I can answer the "worth it" side of this,--definitely. With such exotic tires the earlier you know you have an issue the better all around. (I had to order it for my 06 P-car and it continues to be worth it. It is one of my default displays,--visible all the time).

Only $200, that's pretty good. Does it display pressure readings as well, or just notify if a tire falls below a certain pressure?

My old '06 Passat alerted me once to a rear tire puncture that I wouldn't have noticed otherwise until it was too late......
