Default Thoughts on Autometer wideband gauge

I am looking for a wideband A/F gauge. I have my eyes set on the Autometer C2 gauge part #7178. I already have a fuel pressure gauge and a boost gauge that are Autometer C2 and I am trying to keep them all the same. I am looking to see if anyone has used the autometer widebands and what their perspective is on them.

Thanks

I have this one:

And I have had no problems with it yet! Came with a Bosch sensor, and haven't had trouble with that yet either. Overall it is accurate and quick to respond.

I had an ultra lite autometer wideband in my old car. I liked it, but the analog output responded very slow when hooked up to hp tuners. If you never plan to do this, then disregard. I have an innovate mtx in my current car and love it. It was $150 or so shipped and is an awesome gauge. Analog output is quick and accurate.
