I'd say the only argument is that a light and buzzer might catch your
attention more quickly than a gauge reading low.


Why not get one of the dual VDO sensors, and rewire the system so the
light and buzzer only go off when that one sender trips?  You'd still get
the benefit of a low pressure warning buzzer, but without the complexity
of the stock system.
