Default Looking for a good tach

I'm looking into buying a new tach with shift light but I don't want anything that's going to be gawdy like those huge 5" monster tachs they sell in summit. Where can I get a nice small tach that won't take up a lot of space and will still function nicely? Is it possible to just get the shift light and have it set for a certain RPM (ex: I know the stock tach is really slow but would the light work with the needle or the actual RPMs)? If I can get away with just getting a shift light, that's what I'd like to do.

Thanks in advance!

I have one of those 'gawdy' tachs that I got as a gift which I mounted on the side of the windshield next to the A pillar and it looks pretty good there. You may want to skip the tach and just get a shift light instead.
