does it measure the same way? like, degrees wise?

And, it's just a preference of who's buying it right? Whether to choose EGT or pyrometer? Is one better than th other?

They are literally the same thing.

Pyro-Meter and Exhaust Gas Temperature (meter). Measure of the temperature of the combustion.

Its just a word that AUTOMETER uses, they gotta be different so they use that word instead of the general term of EGT.

It is the proper name for the instrument.

Calling a Pyrometer an EGT is like calling a Barometer an "Air Pressure Guage"

Means the same thing.
