Let's ignore products because they have the latest "bells and whistles" add ons, latest technology, sexy appearances, or best computer processor. Basic performance is the only criteria. I've heard some say the legacy Cambridge units and some say the Sage mechanical. Which unit did it for you? Hi The Butterfly vario look great on paper. Any actual user with an opinion on it's performance in this group. S6

I have about 30 hours on the Butterfly vario. It is as nice as it looks.

They have recently add the ability to read a SeeYou .cup file for the goto, it should also be IGC approved soon and the speed to fly SC mode has a compensation setting that can be customized.
