The SAFC-2 gets the signal for the knock directly from the impreza ECU.

I've heard different stories from different places that the Bosch sensor is more sensitive (as used with the knocklink).

However, Using the SAFC knock sensor display would be suitable due to the fact that knock will still show up, allowing you to adjust your driving before blowing your engine (hopefully).

Something is always better than nothing in the guage area IMO.

Not worth it. The SAFC just uses the ECU signal.
