Default Warning Lights vs Mechanical Gauges

So I bought a 93 Xj bout a month ago. I didn't notice the dash had warning lights rather than gauges. So should I install mechanical gauges or would I be Jst spinning my wheels? Do the warning lights come on early enough? I'm leaning towards gauges. Jst want everyone's opinion.

Idiot lights are called that for a reason, they give you extremely little info on the goings on under the hood. You can easily swap to a gauge cluster from a '91-'96 xj with full gauges. You would also need to switch the oil pressure and temp sending units to ones for gauges (make sure they're not for lights). My brother did this swap, super easy and WELL worth it.
