I went with igaging, http://www.igagingstore.com/category-s/1831.htm.
Way less $$$ with the only issue I know of being the original USB cables aren't shielded, but can get shielded cables here, http://www.dcables.net/. Just search for part # R20560.
If electromagnetic feedback isn't an issue, the original cables are fine. TerryW on the forum put them on his Clausing mill with original cables and doesn't have any issues.
Can add a WiFi functional complete DIY DRO display using a free App with any tablet or smart phone from here, http://www.yuriystoys.com/. This will let you have a common display for multiple machines cutting cost even more or can have a dedicated display for $100 from here, http://www.wildhorse-innovations.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=2.
IMO, the Yuriys toys option would be the way to go as it's an open source DRO that continues to be improved and functions added.
I went with the igaging Absolute DRO scales for a 3 axis on my mill and 2 axis on my lathe for about $500 total.
