The advantage is with power flarm you can see the climb rate of others around you as well as where they are. Imagine seeing 3 gliders 3 miles out with two of them going up 250 fpm and the third going up at 700 fpm. I have a good idea which thermal you will be heading to. It is very fun to see how everyone around you is actually climbing.

I can't count the number of times I dashed over to a climbing sailplane only to NOT find lift below it. LOL! Some say the one above was in a rising "bubble"; I think it more likely I just was off that day.
