Default Is it a habit we prefer mechnical instruments?

My primary concern with the glass panel in light planes is -

what happens when the lights go off?

My antiquated mechanical steam powered gizmos will still work.

If the airspeed indicator clams up, the altimeter still works.

There was once an old saying about putting all your eggs in one
basket - You can do it, but you have to watch that basket carefully.
