Edge CS vs CTS

I am going to buy an insight, but not sure which one to get. I have not seen either in person and from the pictures I cannot decide if the CS is too small or the CTS is too big.

Anybody out there have an opinion?

Is the CTS worth the extra money if I really don't need (or plan on buying) the backup cam?

Thanks, Rich

CTS I have one and am very happy with it. After being updated through edge, it reads all the important functions that I wanted, rot, ect, boost, voltage, etc. My truck is an F 450, 2004

I am going with the CS. The dash pod fits better with the CS IMO and the only real benefit to the CTS is using a backup camera. For a backup camera I would rather go with a DVD/GPS head unit.

I have the CST and love it. I like it a bit bigger. Customize the background and it looks nice.

I keep hearing that Edge is coming out with the ability to monitor fuel press with the CS/CTS. Anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor???

I have read that the fuel pressure accessory is being tested.

Anybody have a picture of these two units side by side to compare sizes?

How about a picture installed in your truck?

Thanks, Rich

I too have heard the fuel pressure monitoring is in the works on the daisy chain. At SEMA the rep I was talking to said that you would be able to monitor anything you wanted as long as the sending unit operated in the 5v or less range.

I know that there are pictures on the website, but I am looking for something other than stock photos. I am trying to get an idea of what they look like compared to each other and in the truck.

Somebody here has to have some pictures of their install to show off.

How far from the mount pod does the CTS sit? That would be my only concern as the CS in the pod sure looks slick.
