In this subject area.....for any vehicle.... it is personal preference as to what you want to use to check your temperature and how deep your pocket is....
Some of my customers like different gauges to others,some digital and some analogue...some like Revotec some don't and fit/replace with other makes as well modern inards but "original" as factory fitted look.

Same with Bongo's, plenty of us are happy with a modded standard gauge...or even the standard gauge readout....other feel the need for other readouts and gauges....so lets not bicker about who's is best and all that...go with what you and your pocket are happy with...there is plenty of information about to make an informed choice.

Yer pays yer money etc....

Just fitted mine, and after relocating a couple of switches, it fits quite nicely in the dash:
