Digital vs. Analog is a personal preference. I prefer analog for rapidly changing parameters like Boost, EGT, & fuel pressure since I can see where the needle is without having to look directly at it and "think", if that makes sense. IMHO, the A-pillar gauge pod doesn't do much to obscure your view -- I've had mine for over 4 years now and never thought it's been in the way (and I have a 4 gauge pod!). I use a digital meter for things like intake air temp, Volts, etc. I do use it for HPOP pressure, even though it's a rapidly changing parameter as well, but that's more of a diagnostic measurement than something that needs constantly monitored so no problem there.

Of course, there are a lot of "digital" displays out there that emulate analog gauges too -- best of both worlds there. I'm happy with my full-time analog gauges for the important stuff though, so no regrets here.
