Ive been thinking of getting a set of those. Whats the difference between those Sunpro gauges and the more expensive ones? Accuracy? Durability?

I'm not sure, really. The ones in the first picture look a whole lot nicer though. As far as accuracy; I can't see their being much of a difference since these gauges are so simple.
As far as durability, I haven't had any issues. I've had the ones in the picture for about 3 and a half years now, with no problems. I had a similar set (not the exact style, but still Sunpro) in my LTD for a few years before I sold it, and they still worked great. I just recommend replacing the nylon oil line that usually comes with it for a copper line. Sunpro is a good name; they've been around for years.

I have the pretty much the same gauges as fmc only mine are white faced instead of black and the gauge holder is gloss black. Same recommendation, change the nylon oil pressure line out for the copper one (10 bucks). Pretty cheap and I've had no issues with them.
The difference between the expensive ones and the cheaper ones seems to be based entirely on fanciness. lol

Actually, they weren't too bad (for a vintage 60's era S&W working gauge set), they sold for 120 bucks on ebay (i wasn't high bidder).
