I've used ProSport on my DC5, Got Defi gauges on Impreza and am about the replace them with more ProSport gauges.
DC5 ProSport gauges were the "Touch" series and they were a good gauges but a proper PITA, the touch control just doesn't work - the controller is to small to accurately touch the touch sensitive buttons. They don't feel the most quality product but they do work and other than the touch controller I never had an issue.
The Defi Gauges on the Impreza definitely feel like a more quality product right up to the point where you get to the connectors on the control unit and they are so cheap and fragile that they just disintegrate and have thus rendered my control unit with out getting an auto electrician to repair it (solider on new pins). They are a neat installation if going on the top of the dash as only one wire to all the gauges and the control unit itself is a nice touch and easy to use, just needs to be stronger to justify the cost.
I've just bought bought ProSport Warning and Peak series gauges of the Impreza and they look like they will be easier to use than the touch series with just one button on the front of the gauge if you need to use it. Like the touch series they don't feel the highest quality but given its almost 3 ProSport gauges to 1 Defi I can live with that.
Interestingly though, the gauges I've just have delivered are branded Motor Meter Racing but they seem identical to ProSport and the internet would suggest its just a rebrand.
