Insight G4 vs JPI 790 - pros and cons?

Okay, okay already.
I am considering an engine analyzer.
It amazes me there are no decent videos showing these in use,
Neither company's fault, just terrible movie makers.

Everyone raves about having an engine analyzer.
AND ...I guess it would ba a 'capital improvement' too.

Will it improve my sex life?
Lower my mortgage rates?
Extend my auto warranty?

Easiest to install while the airplane is filleted open for annual

KEEP SHADIN FF ???

My thought to keep my shadin FF display, for its nice big dedicated FF indicator.
To keep arithmetic simple for me, I match fuel flows F and R.
Big display makes that easy.


OPTION 1 - Insight G4
Install where EGT is now.
Shadin REMAINS at bottom of engine gauges.

OPTION 2 - Insight G4
Bottom of engine gauges, where shadin is now.
REMOVE shadin and EGT.

OPTION 3 - JPI 790
Right over throttles, bottom of avionics stack.
I understand it can be set to scroll automatically between values?
while displaying bar graphs

One COULD remove shadin and EGT.
But again, shadin has nice big juicy display and easy to watch/track

All of these analyzers present a lot of data in small areas.
Their alphanumeric (digital) values may 10 point font?

Thoughts ....gents?
