To each, his own.

Personally, I find iStat Menus interfaces to be much more refined with
many more features. It also looks better and is more stable as well.

The fact that Menu Meters is rarely updated doesn't magically mean 
that all iState Menus updates are sales ploys. I haven't spent a cent on
iStat Menus since my initial purchase, and the author hasn;t asked me
for any more money either. I've seen a slew of great new features added 
in subsequent updates. Menu Meters in comparison is largely stagnant. You 
may see that as a good thing. Not me.

Except when it doesn;t work correctly. I've used both for long
durations, and Menu Meters is unquestionably the more buggy of the two.
