the Nexus line WAS having problems with sending units and control units. The gauges would stop working or the needles would get stuck. I'm not sure if this problem has been fixed...I'm waiting for AutoMeter to write me back, but that probably won't happen until Monday.

I have never had a problem seeing My defi BF amber gauges during the day, Maybe it has something to do with the 20% tint I have on my windows.

That might be it LOL. I'll post any info I get from AutoMeter about the Nexus...what they have to say is really going to be a deciding factor.

the nexus look like crap, the needles look very cheap and so do the numbers. I would choose ANY defi over autometer. As a matter of fact, ANYTHING over autometer.

Well, that's your opinion...I think they look great. The numbers are large and easily read. I think it's funny when people have this negative image of AutoMeter, but look inside any race car out there and you'll probably find at least one autometer gauge.

I got a PM on another forum from someone who actually works for AutoMeter, and worked specifically on the Nexus gauge. Here's what he said:

I just saw your post on Auto Meter's Nexus gauges. I work for Auto Meter in marketing and actually was on the orginal Nexus design team in 2004. Nexus really raised the bar in features for a gauge. Nexus introduced many "firsts" to the marketplace such as full red dial warning alert, 7 color LED lighting, PC download and PC communication for updates. Nexus did have minor issues upon intial release however two years later, we've corrected those and are shipping Nexus "bug free." Nexus did not introduce any new sensor or stepper motor technology to Auto Meter as we'd been using it for several years therefore are very familiar with it. My point to the last statement is that Nexus is very accurate, precise and responsive. Aside from all the glits and glamour to Nexus it is a highly functional and useful product. If you have any questions pre or post purcahse, don't hesitate to ask. Let me assure you we've sold litterally, thousands.
So it looks like the initial problems have been solved, meaning that's the gauge I'm gonna get!

I have no problems seeing my BFs in the day, and I love the dimming features, great gauges imho.
