I'm not unhappy at all. I like to fly for records even if they are modest
at best. But why not improve things for everyone and use technology to
make it easier.

I've done record flights with a barograph, and I've done them with a
secure logger, and my experience is the secure logger DOES make record
and badge flights much easier to fly and to document. It's also easier
for the official observer and the records keeper.

I've never had to reseal a logger (not even my old CAI model 20). The
barographs I used had to be recalibrated yearly, so I'm quite happy my
secure logger can go two years between calibrations. I've saved enough
to reseal several loggers just because of that, compared to the old
barographs.
