The ERA has turned out to have the edge in many details and will be a

serious contender as soon as it reaches maturity. Especially when it

comes
to the interface design the ERA is nice and clean whereas the S80 tends

to
be more cluttered.

What are then many details that the ERA has that are more advantageous

than
S80/S100?

Hi Guys

I was going to put an S80 in my ship when my club decided to fit all the
gliders with it. So I waited. Happy I did as I found the S80 to be too
complicated, too many settings, options, etc. and especially too many
buttons. It can be confusing in flight as pressing the right button at the
right time is a lottery!

I bought a 57mm EOS and I am really happy with it. Great vario and easy to
use. I believe that there is an 80mm one out now, or on the way.
