Wideband AFR gauge

I figured it's about time to get one of these. What do you guys reccommend in the $200 range or less. I'm wanting a gauge that's good quality and accurate. Don't need a bunch of extra features, just want something that displays the actual a/f number and will flash bright enough for me to see even on a sunny day in the event I'm going to lean or to rich. When I'm racing I don't want to have to pay attention to numbers and whatnot, I want it to CLEARLY alert me if my a/f is dangerous. With the above info in mind what do you all reccommend? Thanks

Here's what I'm currently running, no issues. It has also been right on with the wide bands my tuner uses on the dyno shoved in the tail pipe.

Thanks! How's the brightness on it when it alerts you? I really need something that will no doubt grab my attention if something goes out of whack

On the out side of the gauge is a light ring that will move with the A/F. I can catch the green, yellow and red light out of the corner of my eye.

So basically it would be really hard to not notice it even in the daytime?

That one looks pretty good as well. I'm looking at the Autometer 4379 right now. It perfectly matches my other 2 Autometer gauges. Didn't realize they had so damn many kinds lol.

I'm partial to the AEM EUGO. It's a nice bright red display.

I ended up buying the Autometer #4397. With the rebate it ended up being $260. It comes with dimming capability, able to be programmed for E85, meth and race fuel, both visual and audible alarm for lean condition, data logging, etc...Pretty nice gauge for the money
