Gauge sets

Looking to replace the gauges on my Ultra Classic. Bouncing around between AutoMeter (previously sold as KlockWerks), Medallion and Dakota.
What do you guys have?
Not sure I really want to go digital with the Dakotas. Kind of like the analog style.
AutoMeter does not have any indicator lights, or so I am told. No check engine light, no 6th gear indicator, no cruise indicator, etc. Maybe somebody that has the old KlockWerks can chime in and verify or disprove this. Medallion has all the lights etc.
Not really familiar with them or know anyone that has them. Again, anyone with experience with the Medallions?
I am probably talking myself out of them as I type, but the AutoMeter are the most expensive units as well, going for about $1400. I have seen the Medallions for around $700 and the Dakotas on Christmas sale for about $900 I believe.
Let's hear what you guys have to allow.

Have the red Dakotas and they are awesome! If I were to get a new bike I would definately put them on again.

I have the Medallion Skull set and really like them. Nice to have the gear indicator, etc. There are some functions I do not use like the service interval, but they are a nice upgrade IMO. I do wish they had changeable LED lighting choices, but maybe next time!

Spun Aluminum for me. 20% off msrp at LSHD1.com... no tax and free shipping. They even handled setting the correct miles on the OD.

Plus sold the stockers on e-bay for $200.

As an older rider I'm analog conditioned but I took the plunge with the red Dakota digital gauges and I absolutely love them. Never want to go back to analog. Highly recommend.
