There are several distributors sitting on a LOT of Defi inventory, I've heard about a number of shops having difficulty getting shipments due to some informal non-compete and grudges. If you can hook yourself up with a distributor rather than a retailer, expect a 10% above cost price instead of a 10% below MSRP.

Its up to you man what you want to see, if you get what everyone else wants then you will be buying the ones you want again later. I have my 3 below, I dont plan on anymore, but they seem to be doing me fine for 3 years now. (oil temp gauge is a new additional though)

I had been struggling with this decision recently also. Based on some input from experienced FD owners, I decided on the following gauges:
- Boost/Vacuum (mechanical)
- Water Temperature (electrical)
- Fuel Pressure (electrical)
Choice of manufacturer: Defi
Choice of model: Want BF, but struggling with the price vs. just the D-gauges. It's a form versus function versus cost issue. Difference in price is about $200 not including the Link II.
Choice for mounting: flyrx7's tri-pod mount in center speaker (excellent quality)
Best online pricing I have found for gauges is at: www.optionimports.com & www.egauges.com

Defi does not sell a mechanical boost gauge, unless the D-gauge is.
You can get very high quality Defi gauges and save a bit of money by going with the Link series gauges instead of the BF. The only difference is the fancy lighting of the BF series -- oh, and the 25% price premium over the Link series.
