I am in my late fifties and own a Stereo system with electrostatic loudspeakers, the subtleties of which I long since have been unable to hear. I keep them because they take up a lot of room and infuriate the other half who prefers a transistor radio that sounds like a strangling chipmunk. Others tell me they sound very good but their utility to me is questionable.
Aeroplanes, however are another story. I do not subscribe to the use of four Ipads (Some do,) but clear and legible instrumentation makes ANY aircraft easier to fly and more pleasurable to use. My float and wire fuel gauge used to scare the hell out of me but the LCD display fed by a proper tank sender has made my flying much more confident and my sorties longer.
So as a dyed in the wool luddite, I am in favour of the modern panel, as long as it is not cluttered with stuff I do not need and would also assert the point that most of the older panels are a real mess when it comes to telling the pilot what he needs to know.
