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.

Why would bags need to read this? He already has one and knows what it is.

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.
