Maybe, maybe not. I still think the MNAV vario was very nice and I
never felt quite as good about the 302.

i've got a mechanical Winter in the Cherokee and I'm kind of afraid to
replace it. After 5 years together I really know how to read that
vario and use it to center lift fairly quickly I think. I am tuned to
the glider and the vario. The three of us are a system.


You'll get used to a new one in a few flights, and you don't have get
rid of the Winter. Lots of pilots like mechanical as a backup. You
should get a vario with an audio, though!
