I'll keep my TruTrac. It doesn't have pitch, but with instrument training, it has what it takes with a familiar AH like display to keep wings level or to do a turn. I leave it off unless in "the vicinity" of clouds. When powered up, it "erects" in a couple of seconds, even in the middle of a steep turn. I'll add the Butterfly - redundancy.
