is there a preference for a specific air density gauge over the next?

im looking at either an intercomp or longacre... leanings towards the longacre.

thanks.

Kestrel with density altitude (there are a bunch of Kestrel models so get the right one) or the Computech Race Air Pro. Both provide similar results and are very accurate. I had the long acre Air Density gauge for a few years. It works, but occasionally I would get really funky readings. Didn't trust it anymore, so I went with the Kestrel. It's always spot on.

Kestral. Pretty much the standard now. Like Randy, I also used a Longacre AD gauge for a long time, but the Kestral has many more useful features.

We did the RaceAir after research. Corrected AD is what we like to use. That being said - its also what everyone around us uses and so IMHO, its just like karts, engines, etc. - I like to use / race what everyone else is doing so there are more that can help if needed.

Kestrel 4000
And a graphing calculator that I programmed. Or an excel program.
