On the topic of EGT, most are split on them. I have one, but don't use it at all. I have a wideband display so that is mainly why. But when I didn't have a WB I wasn't really paying much attention to the EGT as my probe was piss poor slow(Autometer), now there are faster ones out there, but I still don't really feel they are required. EGT's aren't a for sure thing, temps for the most part imply the AF ratio, but not always.
Now that I have pretty much said that I don't think EGT's are worthwhile, you want to buy mine?
