SGII vs. PLX Kiwi

I'm considering getting one of these devices, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with both and prefers one to the other. The Kiwi is half the price and seems to serve the same purpose...but perhaps I am missing some finer detail.

Anyway, any suggestions?

I went with a used Scan Gauge off Ebay for $98 shipped. I that price diference I wanted the extra fetures of the SG.

Now that I have it, I defiently recomend the SG as being able to monitor 4 gauges at once is very nice.

Good find.

The Kiwi is nice, but can't compete with "Scangauge Classic".

I watched Ebay for one week, look for items that end at weird times (mine was 7am on a Saturday morning). I have seen them go for a low as $90 but most were in the $115-$130 range.

be patient and you can find a good deal.
