It's a General Aviation forum and most respondents give examples of 777's, 767's Airbus, Gulfstreams and the odd X-15, so...
PENKO - it's a wider discussion that speed tapes ..... but on speed tapes not sure you're right - for example, mini ground speed on an airbus gives you a continuously moving bug so actual awareness of what you are trying to achieve is limited and that's what this is all about ..... this would also take us to - just follow the FD
I agree that ground speed mini (not mini groundspeed!) does not present a clear picture of the exact speed that you want to achieve...if you think like a Boeing pilot. To a trained Airbus pilot it is quite clear what's going on when ground speed mini is active and what is being achieved. And trust me, you are more aware of the flight envelope when ground speed mini is active, so I'm not sure why you bring it up.
