If you were to purchase one right now, which one would you buy?

I'm considering the one Stu has for sale, but I wanted some input from others before I just purchase it since I haven't had time to do any research on what's out there now.

Ask Brent- he has an LM-1 is his Corrado he has been using. I have an Innovate XD-16 and love it.

Innovate's products are pretty much all the same, the differences come in the size of the units and gauge options. The LM-1 is certainly the largest over all package, with the LC-1 the smallest. The XD-16 is a LC-1 with the digital/analog gauge as a kit.

Besides Innovate's wideband I've heard good things about the AEM and Zeitronix units from the 1.8t crowd.

FWIW these are the best prices I've see now on new Innovate units from a retailer - http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2567621

I like my lm1 besides the size... i would go xd-16 if I did it again only for size reasons. You cant beat this price and thats why I bought mine and overall been very happy with it.

Here is a link to a test between a bunch of different companies(just realized that the site now requires you to log in). Anyways when I read the article before the site changed, Innovate widebands were rated number one in accuracy, Zeitronix was actually one of the worst. I liked the Innovate when I had it and would buy one again although I would buy the smaller version this time.

I trust my lm-1 more than the air fuel sniffer at the dyno!!!!

Thanks guys, that's pretty much what I thought, but I wasn't sure if there was something new out that was better that I haven't heard of.

Looks like I'm going to try and get Stu's.
