The advantage is that MINI's accelerometers are located extremely close to the cg. The windshield-mount $99 units are nowhere near the cg. I've got one and it was ok, but didn't have the display features I really wanted and seemed designed for the drag racer rather than the auto-crosser of track racer.

At least the g.analyst can be placed closer to the cg and the remote head can show true friction circle data. Now, a remote head tapped into the MINI accelerometers...that would be interesting.
