Best Electronic Guage Setup

I need some input on an electronic guage setup. Im not a huge fan of the oulook monitor due to its defueling even when defueling parameters are set at their max. I do like the BD X monitor but dont really like the old hatch mark type deal ive seen a few that some of the hatch mark deals dont light up so their are parts of numbers that dont light up. The commander has everything i want EGT, Boost, Trans. Temp., Rail Pressure etc. but i dont really like the look of it if that doesnt sound to wierd. I do like the Ts Performance set i think its called a MPD or something like that however it doesnt do trans. temp. as far as i can tell from what ive read or maybe it does anyone know but i like the look and lighting style it has. Not a huge fan of the recon either. I do kind of like the Edge Attitude not really messed alot with them though will they work without a juice box? Does anyone else have any ideas without having to go with analog style guages, I think ive covered all the guages i know off any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

well my first choice is analong because for some reason i trust them a little more than the others, but since you want electronic, i would lean more towards a quadzilla product before anything else. i just ordered my new rp and fp gauge and its a quad so ill let you know how that works out for me if your curious. everything else is analong though

Just FYI, the Attitude and the Commander use the same display and backlight made by the same manufacturer??The Commander just uses a larger size than the Attitude. Of course the plastic is different and you can't run the attitude without a Juice.

Ya just realized that about the attitude, The commander is nice but just bulky i guess just not that appealing to me qzilla but i guess im leaning towards using it being that it has all the features that i want anything else out their that i missed?

Yeah, it sounds like you might want to check into those. I use SPA dual digital gauges and couldn't be happier with them. Accuracy and response is outstanding.
