First, let me thank everyone who responded, at least you tried to contribute
something. But my experience here points up a problem I have noticed
creeping into this, and many other, newsgroups.

In short, the question was not whether I needed a horse, but which of three
horses to buy.

You see, I had already made the decision to put an electronic E6B on my
Christmas list, based on my own criteria. What I was trying to determine
which electronic E6B would be best.

While anything is possible, I really don't think that choosing a electronic
E6B over a whiz wheel is going to get me killed, so there was really no need
for anyone to try to influence that decision. Had I been asking if it would
be better for me to use the engine from a Vespa or the engine from a Honda
scooter to re-engine a Bonanza, I think would be prudent for anyone
commenting to say that it might be prudent to consider another alternative
entirely.

In fact, I did not get a single response addressing which among the three
models I mentioned would be best, so please allow me to try again:

I have already eliminated the Jepp model since it is being discontinued, so,
which do you guys think is the better unit, the CX-2 Pathfinder Flight
Computer or the Sporty's E6B?

Again, tanks to everyone who responded, but please let's just stick with the
question I am asking...
