Digital vs Analog pressure gauge questions

Hya folks,

questions:

would this be worth having?
Would it be any more precise than a typical analog gauge?
Would it be any better? Worse?
If anyone out there in forum land has one of these, are they precise enough for airbrushing work?

Thanks in advance,

Personally - anything thats powered be it electrical/hydraulic/air from Harbor Freight? Try someplace else

For hand tools, drill-bits, misc - they're alright, but stay away from anything else

Not worth it IMHO.

There are too many other factors that effect airbrushing more: temperature, humidity, paint type, paint thinner, and thinning ratios to worry about 1psi worth of pressure.

Besides, my regulator drops 1psi when I hit the trigger on the airbrush and I haven't noted any problems.

Well, considering that a good analog regulator runs about $40 I'd shy away from this.
