There are really 2 choices:
LED - RaceAmerica
Flipping numbers - Chronomix / JACircuits
LED Pros - lower cost, requires less power, more reliable especially in
weather extremes. more programmable (can display most letters of the
alphabet)
Cons - not as readable at very long distances (more than 200 feet)
Flip Pros - Readable, available in several configurations of numbers and
sizes.
Cons - cost, reliability, power consumption, limited to only numbers.
Most important - which is compatible with your current timer?
We chose LED and have been very happy with it.
