electronic dolphin speedo or mechanical auto meter?

guys. I could do with some advice...
wondering whether some of you guys could advise whether i should give the electronic speedo a go or get another mechanical one?
Auto Meter 1808 antique beige kit. mechanical speedo, same price more or less as above kit 350 aud.
i guess i can't decide as they both look great. the difference being in the technology of the speedo.
if they look equally as good, and both have a great reputation,,,what would you buy?

i guess ideally, i should just buy the Auto Meter beige set with electronic speedo, but they're another hundred bucks more.
What would you buy?
I've got a woodgrain dash with a light tanned stain. The truck will be painted a deep maroon colour. It has a woodgrain steering wheel (light colour)
With that in mind, would you choose one of these?

AUTO METER Old Tyme White Series 5-Gauge Kit Mechanical Speedometer


AUTO METER AU1601 Old Tyme Beige



Dolphin Tan



These three are similarly priced. The difference being the Dolphin has the electronic speedo. Another forty bucks more or so for a pulse generator and they are about equal/

Any ideas?

I've had the analog 5" Dolphin gauges in my barracuda for several years now with zero problems.
One is the 140 MPH speedo and the mother is the 5" quad gauge ( four gauges in one).
Pretty sharp gauges.

Don't have them but I would think that the electronic speedo would be quieter than the mechanical.
