I think it all depends on personal preference. I swapped from the original ultra lights to the II version a couple of years ago. You could always sell your old ones and recoup some the money to put towards the new style. I switched because I did not like the perimeter style lighting compared to the LED backlit version while driving at night. If you never drive (or hardly) drive your car at night, then I don't think the change would be warranted. My only complaint with the II style back lighting is that the factory light switch rheostat does not control the backlit intensity. It is not super bright but sometimes it would be nice to turn it down a bit. Autometer sells a dimmer #9114 for about $30. I think I will get one eventually. Other than that I like them alot.
