I agree, which is why I like the DD RTX gauges so much, especially for the 2nd gen Birds. It even has the same readouts and layout for said readouts. There's a new, more affordable competitor called New Vintage that makes period-correct, stock-look digital gauges for the 2nd gen, but they omit the volt meter and the two side gauges become the oil pressure and coolant temp rather than the combined gauge in the center; while the center gauge just becomes a fuel gauge.
