Default Recommendations on aftermarket TPMS for track use?

I'm looking for an aftermarket TPMS system (one that gives an actual pressure readout, not just a high/low value) that I can use for monitoring tire pressures while driving (something with an in-cabin display module). I came across a few options, but they seem so varied, I don't really know where to start. Some seem rated for temperatures of only up to about 200d F, others seem too bulky to use without actually messing up the tire balance, and yet others seem to vary all over the cost spectrum (from $100-ish to over $400). Anyone use this or have any experience with a particular system/brand? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

spend the money on running nitrogen in your tires instead the pressure variations will be much less. I used to vary 6-8 psi during track days and went down to 1-2 with pure nitrogen.

Duke, thanks for the reply. I hadn't considered Nitrogen, but may look into it if my current setup is too labile.

Anyone else have any experience with this?
