I just picked up a Walmart pke meter and I have never used a spirit but it seems that all of the lights are slower on it when at full speed? Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I just ordered a spirit pke since they seem to be better quality, albeit 15 dollars extra. It's wierd that their would be such changes for a product that is pretty much the same thing

They included 2 additional green LEDs for the screen movement, but they no longer match up with the holes on the original casting. So instead of creating a new piece they have the lights diffused through the plastic. I did end up painting mine black and drilled new holes to line up with the new light pattern.
It's nice that they added more lights to the sequence, but without a new diffuser it was sort of lost.
I also ended up buying some of those tiny LEDs (0603 size) and replaced the red one with the correct yellow light.
I also noticed that the arms/wings didn't fully extend in the Walmart version. That was fixed by turning the top lever switch around and cutting a small bit of plastic that holds the switch in place.
