Default A/F Ratio Monitors/Dataloggers - What to buy?

What A/F Ratio monitors/Dataloggers do you guys suggest?
So far im currently interested in the PLX M500 and the Innovate LM1 Air/Fuel Ratio Monitor..

What do you guys recommend if you had to chose these two?
Also what other models would you suggest

Thanks in advance

I have and have used the Innovate LM-1. I highly recommend it WITH the Innovate pickup, Innovate LMA2 (AUX) and Innovate software. If you are not going to buy the pickup and LMA2 you might as well buy a PLX500.

I've personally had excellent results with the Innovate unit.

R500 retails for $579. So id expect to see pricing like $530-550
Check out streetrays. I know he runs retarded deals on PLX stuff.

I am on my 2nd M300. They work great

I reccomend (although have never used it, I plan on buying one) the Zeitronix WB ZT-2 w/screen, its $400 with the screen or $270 with no screen, but can be plugged into a laptop either way. Has datalogging capabilities and can be configured to meter (and record) boost and EGT as well.

I was gonna run the zeitronix also but after plx is selling the 500 I will wait and get it. Has everything that you could possibly want in a wideband.

The LM1 is big but I can always find a good place to mount it in a car. The datalogging capabilities outweigh the awkwardness

is there a wideband setup that allows you to hook up a a/f guage to it so it can be mounted in a guage bezel and just hide the datalogger?

Yes the innovate unit allows you to do that.
