Default Electronic vs. Pneumatic TE

Just got a LX V7 and was wondering about opinions regarding the TE function. I have a pneumatic TE in the glider, but was just wondering if the electronic might be better.

The whole TE concept is really a mathematical process and if the unit has a good Pitot and Static source it should be able to get the TE without a probe, just by calculation.

I've had false reading with some pneumatic system due to yaw (poor coordination, I know), which the electronic system may be able to avoid.

What's your opinion?
