I have talked to that company recently as I had need to get a fuel gauge
repaired in my Navajo. First there are two senders in each tank, and 4 tanks
in the aircraft so that's 8 units. Then, and this is a biggie, there is the
gauge that works with these digital senders for a thou. Just like a b/o/a/t.
Actually, although you could divide the 4 tanks on one gauge, you would want
two, so $2000. Then there is the rewire necessary as the senders takes
power. Then in an aircraft, there is the paperwork and inspection.
So probably about $8 to $10K for the job.

There’s always a balance between “KISS” (Keep It Simple Stupid) and better.
Cost is a factor, too.
But I don’t know anyone who’s a fan of resistance based level sensors in any environment.
The Gas and Oil people in our area us a radar based level sensor that would NOT be practical for anything that we are doing.
Guided wave and pulse.
Cost more than my parts coach!
