On balance, are Moving Map PNAs better than Cambridge 302/303 styleLCD navigation?

Assuming you had your choice of "speed-to-fly" varios, would you then be happy putting all of the other information on the PNA? Or do you see a problem with putting too much information on the PNA and mixing tactical with overview information on the same device?

Well, since I don't like "speed to fly" varios, it's kind of a moot point. Seriously, I thing the new crop of varios cram too much information into a small display, which is the exact opposite of what I want. I have the info I need in big numbers on my SN10 custom page, some of it repeated on my Oudie screens, and think we should be using more aural cues instead of more little bugs on varios. I prefer to pick a speed to fly and stick to it instead of following a speed command.

Now if I had an AOA indicator with nice bright LEDs, I wouldn't even need to look at the airspeed when slow (pattern, gaggling, etc). That would be really trick!
