Pretty much the same thing but your not paying for the Autometer name.

I'm pretty sure the same company makes both. I didn't like the red too much on the Autometer one's like the arrows and I couldn't justify spending 150.00 more bucks for them so I went for the Simco's. The install is cake and they look awesome.

Couldnt get pics today , hopefully in the next couple, Think I'm going to go with the Autometers , dont want to pay that much when Simcos are so much cheaper but feel I may be getting more quality, Summit wants $470., I live close to summit in ohio , but Mustang tuning kills there price so i get them here

Automater jacks their prices up because they can. They are basicly the only universal gauge company and a big one at that. Go with whichever gauges you like better.

I haven't had any problems with mine...I don't like the look of the Autometer ones as much...they are still cool, I almost got them when my only other choice was the gauges with the flames on them...If MT would have waited another week to offer the Pony one's, I'd be rockin the Autometers. It's all preference. Throw up some pics when your done.

also what makes it harder to decide is i have the 3 pod A column and they are autometer phantoms and think the autos would match better too
