Default Any reason not to get the PLX wideband setup?

I am about to pull the trigger on this.

I searched around, and it has pretty good reviews.

Is everyone happy with theirs around here?

Also, is there any way to dim the display?
Is it "too" bright at night?

TIA

Edit:
looking at this one

After owning a LC-1 and an AEM I love mine. It isnt too bright, response is good (not too fast or too slow) and seems to be accurate.

Just bought mine and had it installed. No issues, works great. Big difference over narrow band. There isn't a way to dim the display that I know of. Good luck!

It fits well in the autometer pods btw, I had one for a little bit but sold it with the sandrail project stuff. It's a good quality kit and reads accurate.
