Raw data FPA off! Cheating with track line on ND allowed, since you cannot deactivate the green diamond on PFD anyway.

More displays add mental clutter, demand attention, and increase workload. Pilots need to understand which of the existing instruments are the important parameters and values for the situation. The task is first to understand the situation, second choosing an appropriate action, both aspects demanding significant mental workload.
Additional coarse view in agreement is that no matter the tool, someone will abuse or misuse it heavily one day. Even more so as getting the tool right is a hard task in the first place:
