Yes, for me the problems are 1) the tape is moving up when the air speed is decreasing and the tape is moving down when the air speed is increasing, and 2) the tape hides the range, and only shows the current value.
With a traditional gage the needle goes down when the airspeed goes down and the needle goes up when the speed goes up. I can see the needle position relative to the entire range of speed. It’s very easy to read..
