I know Dustin uses Novak for TC, but I don't think I have ever seen a Novak in a 12th scale (on-road, oval may differ).
Tekin is very versatile, there is no doubt. With that said, I find the throttle feel definitely to be a little on/off. If you are running mod you just need to be sure to have a fan blowing on the solder posts and be sure to pay attention to temps.
Tekin with latest 223 software has at least 5 base selectable profiles (blinky + 4 boost from mild to wild), no need to connect Hotwire for anything but custom boost, or feel settings I think ?
Throttle feel has improved a lot as well since v208
There may be similare "sized" speedos, but the RS is very light, that's why it is popular in 12th
