Blitz SBC i-color A/F Box II Question

So I already have the SBC i-color installed in my car and my next mod will be an AFR. Blitz makes an A/F Box for the i-color, but it's $500!!! What is the difference between something like this and an AEM UEGO? Is it really worth the $300 difference????

Pretty slick! It uses a PLX AF module.

Yeah but PLX modules usually go for around $300....why is this one $500? What makes it soooo darn special? (Maybe because it has Blitz on it?)

Talked to a Blitz Power USA and they said..."First off you're paying for the Blitz name...second off your paying for the development costs to integrate it with the i-color."

Personally...I don't think this is that worthwhile because the whole point I think of a A/F monitoring system is to catch abnormal ratios when you're driving. It would be hard to notice that on the i-color unless you had it at eye level...and who wants a rectangular shaped object anywhere but underneath the dash...

So on that note...what kind of AFR would you guys recommend?

I bought, and have bought, the AEM wideband for several different cars, including my X. Works well, well supported, everyone knows it, etc, etc.
