Case for enhanced vision systems in airliners

If this had happened in IMC (do birds fly in clouds ?) or above a cloud layer, would options be reduced to following the FMC or vectors to the nearest airport with the attendant risks of an all or nothing result.

Would this be a good outline case as an example of where an EVS would have helped to arrive at the same outcome in IMC and/or low visibility ?
