My guess is that your guages are very voltage insensitive and that
LR44's are cheaper by the 100,000 lot than 357's. Who knows, maybe a
357 will have a 10 year life in your instruments.
You'll report back over the intervening years right here won't you?
We'll be waiting. Will the E-3 have been announced yet?
