Dakota Digital Or New Needle Gauges From A Vender?

I'm going to buy a new gauge assembly this weekend. Has anyone had any experience with dakota digital or the complete original assemblies the vendors carry?

digital guages look cool but, are no substitute for good quality analog guages.
if they were an improvement, you'd see them in nascar, etc.
comes down to this:when you start your lopey cammed engine do you want to see the needle on the tach quickly moving in harmony with your engine or do you want to try to read the constantly changing digital readout?
don't know what you intend for your truck but, you can't go wrong with autometer.good looks, hi accuracy, reliable & cost effective.
seems a no brainer to me.
