Question Angle of attack instrument?

I am supervising a project by an undergraduate aeronautical engineer - he is looking at the practicalities of a low-cost angle of attack instrument for light aircraft. It would be very helpful to get the opinions of instructors on the following:

Suppose that the GA fleet were all fitted with a reliable/accurate angle of attack instrument. Would this be of any value in PPL training? If yes, how would you make use of it? Also, what would be the benefits (if any)for qualified pilots in, say, routine flying, instrument flight, bush flying, aerobatics .... anything else that occurs to you.

All comments welcome.
