Default Electric fuel pressure guage??

Is it worth buying an electric fuel pressure guage? I heard that they are not very accurate at WOT. I really don't want one outside the car. Ideas?

I'm wondering how it wouldn't be accurate at WOT?

I really like mine...it does show me that my fuel pressure drops at WOT, which I've found to be normal. I wonder if people are thinking that since the fuel pressure shouldn't drop, but it does, that people are blaming it on the gauge?

It definitely explains my retardedly high injector duty cycle with the stock injectors (90-95% with only bolt-ons)...plus, I log the data through my HPTuners interface.

Dynotune gauge here and it definitely helps. I had a Racetronix pump go out on me after 3 weeks of driving. With the gauge I found the problem quickly. It is also interesting to watch what the fuel pressure does when driving.
