Looking out of the window while VFR?

[Final 3 Greens]

Mmmmmm.....

Whose opinion to take onboard, a pilot/advanced FI with over 25K hours including helicopters, SEP, MEP and turbine aircraft (including A320) or a returning pilot with 250 hours on light singles.

To add to the dilemma, the 25K pilot is recommending using a blend of old and new tools/techniques, whereas the returning PPL seems to view the new technology as being an invention of the anti christ, in its ability to seduce people from the true path.

Now, as a 250 hour pilot, who should I listen to?

Maybe I'll give Ned Ludd a call and get his view.
