Finally came around to using a digital level on ductwork

I spent 10 years in the trade swearing by my old 2 foot bubble level for laying out duct runs. Seemed like digital was just a way to drain batteries and slow me down. Last month a big job in Phoenix forced me to check slope on a 40 foot stretch, and the digital readout caught a 1/8 inch drop I kept missing by eye. I borrowed the foreman's unit for an afternoon and it paid for itself in one call. Has anyone else switched after fighting it for so long, or am I the last one?

Did the slope spec actually call for digital or just your call?
