Someone mentioned earlier that the FDs are pitch and roll target indicators. In the 737 the opposite seems to be the case in my experience, a rate indication seems to be more accurate. They tell you what input you are supposed to make, not what orientation in space the airplane is supposed to be in.
I believe single-cue and dual-cue FDs are different in those respects.
