Default Mechanical Vs. Electrical Gauges?

What are the advantages/disadvantages between the two in terms of a boost gauge? Is it worth all of the money to get an electrical gauge?

Also, for US people that are using a boost gauge that uses bar instead of PSI....do you find any issues with that, or did you adapt quickly?

I personally prefer electric gauges simply because instead of running vacuum line or capillary line (for temp gauges) all the way into the car its far easier to run the sensor at the point of measurement and just have to run wires into the car. If you are using the Autometer gauges the Full sweep electric ones can be datalogged using their datalogger the plugs into the gauges. Thats what I am using on mine.
