I was taught originally to change frequency you continue to look out and find the knob blind as you know the frequency you are on you count the clicks to the frequency you want then glance over and check and adjust. I also have a GTN650 touchscreen which results in far more eyes in time particularly in turbulence as its very hard to keep your finger stable yes the frequencies are all to hand in the database but you have to be expert on a very complex bit of kit to find it very fast and it can't be done blind
