except a bit of 'time'  i.e. the 2D Panel is likely to be a bit faster
due to simpler geometry, esp if your 3D instruments have things
like bezels etc..

Note I am a *big* advocate of having 3D panels but ... this does
not preclude the usefulness or the desireability of a 2D panel

I realize that most on this list are after a 'first person' experience
but this is by no means the only use of a simulator :-)
