You DO have a stopwatch on your flight deck, don't you? And windows to look out of?
The K's nav kit is every bit as accurate as the J's - except you need a brain to use it.

I've had the digimap fail on me several times and navigating from paper maps is just as easy. Follow the beautiful white line on the nav radar and the steer bar on the head up display and cross ref with paper map - still less talking than a K flight deck and no need for a distinct smell of wee in the corner! Anyone that goes home with a digimap fail (and I've heard of none) should have their knuckles wrapped as they're wusses.
Oh and by the way - speak to K operators that have done the J course and ask them which takes more brains to operate.
