Gauges: Faria (USA) or OEM Moeller?

I will eventually be replacing the instrument panel on my 74 Cat 27 to accommodate the EWDS. I have the original Moeller gauges on my instrument panel now of course (Water Temperature, Oil Pressure and Fuel Level). I also have two brand new, USA made Faria gauges (Water Temperature and Oil PSI). I am wondering if I should purchase the Faria Fuel Gauge. I had asked this question in my thread "My A4 Adventures" and got a couple responses (thanks again you two) and I'm looking for some more feed back here.

If you had these two to choose from, which would you choose and why?

Thanks in advance.

... because the would look the same and you are spending money to make the new panel, it should look good.

Also, as I've gotten more mature (older) I prefer the white background for visibility... in all light, included backlight.

These and THIS for a new panel.

One really good feature of the SW gauges...
once everything is warmed up and running properly, a quick glance at the gauge panel lets you know all is well if they are all pointed at about 12 o'clock.
