Radar Vectored. I flew the Convair 440 Metropolitan years ago. It had a well designed roomy cockpit with easy viewing of the instrument panel and various switches. In contrast, when I had a quick peek at the Convair 580 panels at Auckland last year, I was very surprised at the hotch potch of instruments and navaid boxes seemingly thrown together with marked lack of ergonomics. It was quite confusing.
