A/F/R gauge for tuning

I'm with you. I can't stand digital gauges either. When I looked into the analog versions, everything I had read was that they aren't as resposive as digital, so they may not be as useful. I guess there's a reason that the majority of AFR gauges are digital.
But is it useful or not?
Ever try to read the voltage on the output side of the instrument voltage regulator?
Would a digital gage be useful?
Would a 0-100 V scale on an analog meter be useful?
How 'bout a 0 to 8 Volt scale?

Again it comes down to what a person is going to use it for. Then sampling rate, readablity, ability to add on to it, will quickly narrow down the hardware which will fit your goals.
