I love the Cherry AN8 1640 used last year - 48/3193 are using it on our arms this year, with much success.

Mouser sells these for $45:

Data Sheet:

The graph in the lower-left corner of the second page of the datasheet seems to strongly imply no dead zone - it shows a sharp saw-tooth transition from max back to min. Has that been your experience?

I was specifically inquiring about the Vishay 981HE.
