Bingo. And the only vacuum failure I ever had was during climb-out
right before entering the soup, where the standby system likely would
have been useless.


Not really so. I can hold level at 8000 and climb at 400 to 500 at 3000 while
getting 3 inches of vac with the precise flight standby vac. So it depends on
the alt of the airport. Here in Ohio we don't have those 5000 ft airports.

I was at about 8,000 feet at the time of the failure on a climb to 10 or
11 can't remember which now. I doubt I could have maintained sufficient
vacuum during climb at those altitudes. Possible, but I wouldn't have
wanted to have to count on it. However, I'm still a Precise Flight fan
as even having vacuum during a descent to land is a lot better than
flying partial panel.
