If you feel it is out of calibration your only solution is to by a new sensor. But innovate allows you to re-calibrate.It's okay - good question. The answer simply is money.
I had both sensors, and this is just my 2 cents. You guys can ignore me if you want :)

The supplier came to the table with substantial AEM discounts on the water-meth injection kit which was my primary concern (and also the 2 others I mentioned) ... and then they sweetened the pot by giving us that discount across the entire AEM lineup. Hence my purchase also of a couple of AEM gauges that I otherwise would probably have purchased elsewhere.
Bottom line:
Innovate doesn't have a water-meth kit
Innovate's prices are considerably higher - for example the DB kit (LC-1 + digital gauge) which is equivalent to the AEM UEGO wideband controller with gauge, would be at least $40 more in this group buy and even higher obviously at retail.
And lastly, and frankly, I just don't see myself doing any sort of recalibration - I don't think my knowledge level is that high ... I'm more of a "replace what's not working" kind of a guy anyway.
But ... having said that ... my supplier does also sell Innovate products so if anyone prefers it to AEM, I can get a decent price for you.
