Which oil pressure sensor, and which method of mounting?

I've got the P3Cars vent gauge, and my understanding is it's pretty easy to attach an oil pressure sensor to it so that it can read that too. I'm thinking of buying the AEM 30-2131-100 oil pressure sensor. It's brass, and much less expensive than the stainless steel AEM 30-2130-100. I'm not looking for high accuracy necessarily -- ballpark is sufficient. I would like reliability though -- it shouldn't fail after a year or two of NVH. Would I increase reliability by mounting it -- instead of directly into the usual place -- instead mounting it a few inches out, attached to a flexible extender of some kind, so that vibrations aren't transmitted to the oil pressure sensor?

Is this even a thing or am I imagining it?
