In my opinion, managing ones cockpit is most important task a pilot has (other than flying the airplane), and any tool that makes that task even a little easier is worth the expense. I understand that some of the results of these features can be achieved by using other instruments and gauges, but the ease of use and more precise nature of digital/glass makes it easier for me to manage my cockpit. Lean assist is another amazing feature that I still use, and I use it all the time. Although I don’t use it now as much as I used to, the flight director feature is amazing. Ya, they have additional cost on keeping them up-to-date, but there are features of glass that you can’t or don’t get without it. If I were to purchase a plane, I would want a glass panel. Once I was aware of the location of the instruments and gauges in both types of panel, I transitioned back and forth with ease. I learned to fly in both glass and 6-pack and transitioning between them both was very easy for me. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I look at both types of panel much like the way Matt E does.
