They don't all have a gauge, but anyone considering one should get the
gauge version.  I recently bought one and used it to check the vacuum diff
locks on my urQ.  The gauge was very useful to see slowly falling vacuum,
as well as measuring the vacuum necessary to actuate the lock.  As I lay
under the car checking the units, I tried to imagine troubleshooting that
stuff without it.  In this type of car, it's just about as useful as a
voltmeter.
