I think it really comes down to cost of the altimeter. When I learned I learned on an analog one and I think it would be safe to assume that places teaching new jumpers are worried that expensive digital ones will disappear so they purchase the most inexpensive ones. I think it would be nice to have an analog and digital device in one. What I would really like to see is something like the Galaxy with a little cutout that displays altitude digitally to the left of the red. The Altitrack seems like a really nice alternative to both analog and digital but at the same time it is essentially two different altimeters
