If you ever get stuck in clouds and need to go into needle/ball/airspeed mode to keep right side up, an indicator with more needle movement would be more useful. That is to say Stef, the one you picked is better than one with a higher speed range since one with a higher speed range would produce l

Joe, A blockage in the Pitot tube or pitot plumbing will cause the ASI to lag, reading low at times, then high when you slow down. A blockage in the static system will cause the ASI to be erratic, reading both high and low at times as altitude changes. If the ASI is functioning normally, but
