So, if a long line of small gauges is wrong, yet a small cluster between the speedo and tach is is wrong, what do you consider right? Seems like the two most logical layouts to me.
As far as gauges themselves...for ease of reading, I think the old Stewart-Warner scheme of black round faces with white needles can't be topped. High contrast...
That's why my wristwatch is the same...black face, white hands and numbers.
Porsche nailed another thing well with the early 911...the auxillary gauges laid out so needles were horizontal when everything in the normal zone while driving. Just a glance would tell the driver all was okay.
