Default Which wideband afr gauge to go for?

Hi my budget it's around £200 and will be use on v3 sti running ESL.
I'm looking at the AEM EUGO 30-4100 and the Innovate LC1 LC2 controller? Both use the Bosch 4.9 sensor,both around £160
I want the ability to data log as well as accurate live data.
Is there any other suggestions?

Cheers
Rich

prefer mtxl i have on impreza than lc1 on the foz, less wires. Also have two things to setup up using lc1 with xd gauge, still only need to connect to one for romraider etc but still less parts=less to go wrong IMO. Both being common are widely supported in data logging software which some of rarer widebands may not be.

Thanks,looked at the mtx-l and looks like they use the LSU4.2 sensor the others use the LSU4.9 which I believe is better?

There is also a grams skunk2 in the same price range,anyone using one of these?
And
Is it worth paying extra for something like the the stack wideband which comes in at £260

I have a Zeitronix ZT-2, uses Bosch sensor as well. Awesome job.

Do like them but £320 is getting to more than I want to spend,I guess the extra feature on the Zeitronix ZT-2 are what make it more expensive than the others?
Features I don't think I would use.

Without rubbing it in I got mine for £100 brand new with the addition of the genuine boost sensor as well. eBay!

I've rigged it up to watch fuel pressure, EGT, wide band AFR and boost. The logging software is great too.

Aye I remember you saying you bagged a proper bargain!
I've been looking out for a good deal but no such luck
