MoTeC C12X vs. C18X: Compare Display Loggers
MoTeC's C-series splits into a display-first C12X line (C125 / C127 / C1212), where logging is an optional upgrade, and a logger-first C18X line (C185 / C187 / C1812), where professional-level logging is standard. Since screen size drives connector and mounting choices more than anything else, the tables below are split by size tier — 5"/7" displays first, then the 12" pair — so you can compare within the size you actually need.
