electric versus mechanical gauges

[BuWaGone]

Thanks for the opinions. Right now what has me undecide is the display of the gauges. If I remember correct mechanicals measure in 2 degree/psi increments while electric displays in like 10-15 degree/psi increments. I'm leaning toward elect. water and mech. oil. because of the displays. IMO oil pressure is the most important thing when it comes to engine life.

Both water temp and oil pressure are available in 270* sweep mechanical AND electrical versions. I

Yes, I know but the price difference is too big for me.

One little side note. I have all electric gauges except for my oil pressure which is mechanical. All autometer cobalt gauges and the only thing I am a little dissatisfied with is that the display on my electric gauges seems a little brighter than mechanical but it may be because I purchased them about a year apart.
