Default Which voltmeter?

I'm looking for a voltmeter to replace my ammeter. I've found these 3:

(You may have to scroll down in each link to see the voltmeter.)

Kirkham has one for $96.01. Has a larger range and full sweep dial, similar look to the Smith pressure/temperature gauges.

An original Smith for $68.20. Identical look to the Lucas ammeter.

A VDO for $26.99. Best price, similar look to the Smith pressure/temperature gauges.

Any experience with any of the 3 above?

Didn't the VDO gauges come as OEM on the Backdrafts at one time?

Anyone running any of Kirkham's gauges? I like the looks the best, but I don't know anything about them. Is the quality that much better to justify the price?
