Maybe its being old fashioned, but I still like the old cockpit.

Glass cockpit for S92, AB139, EC225 type IFR aircraft.

But, when flying around low level, VFR, aerial work - Old fashioned, manual, analogue gauges work best. Just a quick glance in, you can see height, speed, rate of descent - No reading required, limited interpretation needed. Certainly not once you are familiar with the aircraft.

I may be speaking out of turn as I've never done low level aerial work with a glass cockpit, but I imagine it wouldn't be quite so easy to interpret the information quickly.
