Some do it better than others, in fact the current generation S550 set up is nice becuase it maintains a traditional hooded gauge cluster surround.

However, the new S650 simply has a glued-on screen.

Think of it this way, do you want a digital watch or a nice, clear and beautifully detailed traditional movement watch? I feel the same about dials..........

I agree with this, although I do like both because the screens should be customisable - I'm expecting to be able to display anything that reports data on CAN on those screens.
