Choosing a wideband kit: AEM or Innovate?

I've been doing a lot of research on getting a wideband with my MAP-ECU and I've narrowed my choices down to:

AEM Gauge-Type UEGO Kit w/AFR Sensor ($279)



or

The Innovate LC-1 with a DB Gauge ($289)



Right now I'm leaning toward the Innovate LC-1 because it has the ability to recalibrate the sensor. I didn't see anything like that on the AEM. The one thing that I like about the AEM is the LED display of the AFR. It would be something that I could see quickly instead of looking at the numbers of the Innovate DB gauge. I know that Innovate makes and XD-16 that has the LEDs on it but it's over $100 more.

Does anyone have experience with either kit?

I have experience with both. The AEM is much more easy to use and seems a bit more reliable. It is severely lacking in datalogging ability by itself though.
too bad it comes with the bosch sensor..
I had the AEM and it was nice but the sensor crapped out after a short time of race gas and methanol.

I am switching to the NGK with the NTK sensor. I have heard nothing but great things about it and it is very reasonablely priced.

same here!
Neither, use the FJO/NTK combo. Best on the market and worth the money.

Meh, ~$60 for a new one isn't a big deal. They last long enough (IMO) with race gas if placed in a decent spot in the exhaust.

Very true, but for $365 (i think it was) to get a new unit and a NTK sensor it wasn't bad. Also I put my gauge in the stock clock location so now I bought a AEM serial gauge for there and I can monitor A LOT more if I want. (I like to keep it clean looking ;) )
We dont like the Innovate too much.
Those head phone jack connections seem to get bad over time.
