Sandel SN3308

I'd be interested to hear opinions about the SN 3308 from people who have actually flown them.

In Australia the reputation is that bulbs are a problem and they are difficult to read in sunlight. In the US neither of these concerns are rated seriously. The bulb is about $30 and seems to be a 30 min or less job to replace, so I doubt I'd notice the additional cost in out 100 hourlys. Which leaves the sunlight readability issue. Is it really a significant issue?

They are getting cheap to the point of being a candidate to replace a mechanical HSI, so I'm "tyre-kicking" the idea.
