Default Who makes a nice liquid filled fuel pressure gauge?

I need to finally replace the shitty B&M one on my SX regulator. Autometer has the 5412 which sells for $49 from summit. Who else makes some nice ones, and hopefully a little less expensive?

I have used the Summit-branded liquid filled fuel pressure gauge. Threads right into the the commonly used Aeromotive FPR (1/8" npt fitting). Only $20!

I have the Summit Racing one. It was like $16 when I bought it.

Summit Racing SUM-800199 = $19.95
Moroso MOR-65374 = $32.95 I'm not even sure if this is liquid-filled...probably not considering that Moroso parts usually aren't cheap
NOS NOS-15907 = $71.39 way too much
Russell RUS-650340 = $25.75 this is the same one that inlinefour sells (Marshall)

All of them have 1/8" NPT threads.

You can either use the gauge as a replacement for the one in the B&M kit, slap it on an "external" FPR (ie: Aeromotive, Sard, etc.), or mount it to the fuel rail if it has a 1/8" NPT port. I used an 90 degree elbow piece to mount it on my AEM fuel rail.

the liquid helps to reduce vibration in the gauge which can cause the gauge to become inaccurate.
