Actually no contest, for with the ASI in the headrest there's only a dual run
of about 12  inches to the top of tank, and you don't need that massive stuff
Europa used - (presumably because of feet tramping on it).  ASI weighs 350 gm
.

But I do like the idea of  programming . There are fluid transducers in the
right range now appearing and a PIC would do the calibration. But if you
haven't the kit  to progam one you might as well buy what is being suggested.

Yes, clearly most important for Europa funny tank sections.  Incidentally I
think pressure head systems have been neglected because they are not very good
for flat shaped tanks such at those in wings.
