I've played with og3's, I thought they were part argon, I might be wrong though. The only drawback for me was that they need 3 microcontroller pins, or some circuitry to provide the 3 phases to drive them. The brightness of the glow is also a bit less than a neon tube. I had trouble getting the reset to 0 working, and opted for 3 neurons detect on 0 approach instead, the tube is a seconds pendulum and mode function indicator for one of my clock projects.
