Post Heathrow ATIS

London Heathrow is one of the world's largest and busiest international airports, yet it still relies on a manual ATIS. That is, data is read on to a tape by humans before being broadcast on the appropriate frequencies. A lot of major airports incorporate a computerised ATIS with a computer-generated voice.
What do Flight Deck prefer ... the colder-but-advanced digital version, or the welcoming tones of the Heathrow weather?
