Twin Star (DA42) - Glass vs Clockwork

Folks,

I guess this is being dragged up again but I think some fresh ideas would'nt go a miss.

Does anybody have any thoughts on doing an MEIR on the DA42? Inparticular the ability to fly IR trips with a centre stick where a conventional knee board for holding plates cannot be used due to the ergonomics?

Secondly, the 42 is a glass cockpit and not your traditional "analogue" style aircraft. Does this feature way in favour of selection by airlines or not? Reason being, will a prospective employer view your ability to fly on a glass system (like many operators use) as beneficial or would they prefer you to be able to prove your ability on an old stlye system?

Thoughts greatly appreciated.
