If I'm spending the money on a data logger, I'd be sure to buy a nice one. The AIM MXL Pista is probably one of the best I've seen in terms of well... everything!

 

That's a whole different price league.

 

It's only twice the price. Look beyond the groovy blue LED dash at how much memory it has, how many sensor inputs (8, same as the DL1) it has and of what type (8 analog and 1 frequency vs 8 analog plus 4 frequency) and the quality of the software used to do post-analysis. There is a lot more to it than packaging.

My DL1 racks up about 10MB of data in a full 25 minute session which means that with a Pista you would need to offload that data after each session (It has 8MB, I have as much as I want). It also don't have a GPS tho they keep threatening to get one which means you can't see your lines or even the track map. All you know is what the car was doing but not where it was doing it.

Add another $500 for the GPS unit and the Pista doesn't have enough memory to log an entire race with more than 1 or 2 sensors connected. You would need to go to the Pro which is in another price league again. Why not just say f*** it and drop for Motec?
