AOA indicators

I would like comments from current users of any AOA system.

The Dynon has a indicator on the screen.
The AOA Pro has a large LCD indicator on the panel.
The AOA Sport has a LED indicator on the panel.
The LRI has a needle indicator on the Gauge.

I have used the LRI and find the needle difficult to see in the last 20' before touchdown ( altitude, drift, gusts and center line come first). It works as advertised in flight, but I, for one, am focused outside during landing and never on the LRI. My old Cherokee stall vane with the red light works with my peripheral vision.

Do the other Brands work with your peripheral vision and allow an awarness of the indicated AOA during flare? Are you aware of the color changes?

Where did you locate the indicator?

Thanks for any input.
 
I have the AOA Pro

It is about 1 foot the the right of center and just under the glare shield. I am see it as I look over the glare shield toward the runway. I don't think that I am looking at it but can tell when it is on the "donut". I also here it say "Angle, Angle" just as I start to touch down.
