Most of my flights lately are cross country. Interestingly, those are the flights that have peaked my interest in having an MLI or FLI even though it's a piston single. The quick hops are, as you say, not an issue, just figure stuff out for takeoff and landing. But I find when I am trying to make time and run MCP the entire way I keep a critical eye on things. For me it's not unusual to see a OATs variation of 10-20 degrees during cruise on a cross country flight, and elevation changes of 3000 feet or so. It's not just flat, boring terrain around here, it's mountains and seashores and everything in between. Yeah, it's only a difference of an inch or so on the MP limit, but again, it's a want, not a need, and electronic engine instrumentation is less expensive than separate gauges so why not? Bruno liked the idea, obviously, and I know you are all fans of Bruno!

The throttle limit is pretty obvious because if you keep pulling the Nr goes down.
Now you are just being silly.
