I'm a dinosaur and I hate change for changes sake. But so far as I can see, MAVIS gives you everything that the old site did, plus a lot of new, useful stuff. F214 and 215 are still available, but pointless and obsolete. Instead of a 2000' wind averaged over a 6 hour period and a vast area, I can see a wind for 15 min slots and for a small area. Instead of trying to look at a monochrome A4 sheet covering a 9 hour period and the whole of the UK, I can see a visualisation of cloud base or visibility and for specific times. So I can see how the weather changes along a route, or I can scroll the time and see how it changes through the day. I can see cloudbase and visibility forecasts for a few days ahead.
I think it's a good attempt to use the flexibility of a colour screen to give more information, better presented
