    It’s a weight weinnie thing, you can save a couple grams. Electronics will never be as reliable as a cable though, too much vibration, temperature changes and moisture will eventually wreck stuff.

      It’s not a weight weenie thing. In fact from my search it actually usually weighs slightly more. Most of what I’m reading suggests that it’s actually more reliable in adverse conditions than mechanical, or at worst that it’s roughly equal but different.
