Agreed. Although I use the audio from an electrovario, there's something about the way the Winter needle moves which tells you far more about the air in the immediate vicinity of a thermal. That and your arse. You hear the noise from the noisy vario, glance down at the vibrating needle of the Winter and then wait to turn or pass it up. I rarely look at the electric thing other than to see what the average is after a few turns. My opinion is that the undamped mechanical varios are very useful indeed.
