Default Best turbo timer??

Hey all,
I am looking around for a turbo timer and am wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me. Is there a particular turbo timer that is best as far as quality and reliability? I have looked at apexi and greddy thus far, both of which look pretty generic, I'm just wondering if there is something in particular I should be looking for or if anyone has had good luck with a certain brand. Thanks in advance...

I personally like the Apex-i (the skinny one). Has a built in voltmeter, and has been 100% realible for 2 years coming this may.

Cool thanks for the input, is that the unit that has a box that can be mounted elsewhere then the small output reader can be mounted anywhere?

a turbo timer is a turbo timer. You are just paying for extra functions.

It remembers the highest boost you hit, so you can see if you are creeping or have your controller set too high or low. Nice feature, most high end electronic boost gauges have the feature as well.
