I don't know just for me old school was how I was taught and it never let me down my dad was a WWll fighter pilot in the pacific he all ways told me if it works and you don't get hurt stay with it.
Then they came out with jet engines.......................... looking at the extremes piston engines went to at the end of WWII and into the post war years, jets are vastly more reliable than they could ever make pistons. Modern air travel (good or bad) would not have occurred (well at least before C-19). Things change, improvements occur and sometimes the old stuff is still good as well. But a P-38 at the end of the war was a vastly improved aircraft over the ones we started the war with. Hellcat was a huge improvement over the Wildcat (which was a good bird but no upside).
There is (pun intended) a balance between what works, what you like and what may work better for you.
If you are happy with a beam, great. Not for me anymore but you are the one doing the re-loading so how I feel about them is irrelevant.
If you like Digital, that is equally fine. And repeated the above.
Now, if you are pondering what you want to buy or how people feel about digital and use them? There in lies information that a prospective buyer needs.
Now a died in the beam type is not going to give you that information. And a beam guy that has tried a digital and does not like it is not going to convey anything other than they did not like it.
A digital guy can, but a full review is better from someone who has used both. That also includes how to maintain the zero on them so you don't wind up with charges not what you are trying to achieve.
Me? I grew up with beams, I prefer digital and have worked out how to make them work well with good cross checks for charge accuracy.
The one thing I tend to leave out is if I was charging small pistol, I would cross weight each charge, either on a beam or another digital.
All said and done then the choice is up to the individual. Beam guys don't have horns nor do the digital guys.
