If "new, improved" instrumentation is desired we might include something that may have prevented for example, the UPS A300 accident at Birmingham - a "side-view" of the approach showing the aircraft's actual height above ground, with a display of actual terrain, (from the EGPWS database).
Dunno, i have been flying around with exactly that for the last 8 years or so in my old fashioned 737. Now, on the much more modern A320 that is not available at all, in general the ND/PFD is IMO better on the boeing, but both work and are enough to fly safely.
