Im going to get a wideband gauge and the aem http://www.aemelectronics.com/wideband-air-fuel-systems-15/digital-wideband-air-fuel-gauge-25/
is about $100 cheaper than the autometer

I use a few AEM widebands at work in conjunction with our lab grade ETAS meters. I've been rather impressed with them for the price, considering the benchmark I have is a ETAS is a $2500+ unit. A little bit more sensitive and jumpy, and seem to fall off scale (lean side) quicker than the expensive unit. Granted, I'm running them on a 150cc bike so the exhaust situation isn't ideal!

Plus's - it packages great, all the brains are in the gauge, it has serial and 0-5 volt outputs if you want to datalog, can switch to lambda or AFR. Do track well compared to lab grade stuff. several faceplates come with the AEM kit. Low current draw (1.3 amps(ish) nominal).

Minus - Sweep LEDs a little too dim to see in broad daylight, granted, inside a car is probably better than handlebars of a bike! Might be overly responsive/sensitive - could be application. Doesn't track exactly with lab stuff, but typically very close.

All in all, I'm planning on putting some on my vehicles when time permits. I'd like to know how the Autometer gauge performs though.
