Subject:New circuit board options

Hi - I have an 85 Westfalia in need of a new circuit board.  I’m looking at both the Vanagon.org <http://vanagon.org/> and Gowesty.com <http://gowesty.com/> models, and while they both appear to function properly I’m wondering about the ‘intangibles.’  For example, the Vanagon.org model uses LED lights I believe.  I kinda like the hazy yellow glow currently (or liked before I lost those lights!) and don’t want bright white lights.  Maybe gowesty.com <http://gowesty.com/> is the same with LEDs?  Not sure.

I have a Canadian model so no OXS light if that matters.  

I’m not sure if I ever had an oil pressure buzzer.  I recall the light flickering on rare occasions but don’t recall hearing it on startup or any other time.

The Gowesty model for me is $255 (I have a tach).

The Vanagon.org model is $171 (not sure if I need the oil buzzer model or not).
