alternative McCready theory and variometers

Hi,
The "alternative McCready theory" has been around for decades now.

It's not opposing McCready, just making a strong case for steadier
inter-thermal speeds. But as I'm reading it, it makes the speed command
feature superficial.
Is there a variometer manufacturer that doesn't ignore that?
My ideas for features:
* showing equivalentMC
http://www.lk8000.it/new-20-features...t-mcready.html
* automatic MC set from equivalent MC
Getting rid of speed command would mean you could have something useful
in
cruise mode instead. For audio I would probably choose:
* relative netto variometer indication with dead-band.
and more....
Any comments?
