Oil temp and pressure, volts, water temp - these are not values that one needs to check very often in normal driving conditions. So it's better to not have them in the direct field of view for regular driving.
You check them either when you're debugging a problem, or perhaps when driving in extreme conditions - in which case you want them in the field of view. But this type of driving happens very rarely, less than 10% of the time (less than 1% for me personally).
So on balance, for a fixed set of gauges I'd rather not have them in my field of view all the time.
Of course, ideally the dash display should have a configurable area where you should be able to display anything you want - but in absence of this, I think this gauge pod can still be very useful.
