For me, the best part of the new button pad is how the buttons actually feel. They click very consistently compared to all of the previous generations. I also like that the bike can be operated without an LCD, and the color read outs actually work fairly well. I bet they chose the colors based on what most people can see, since many people have some level of color blindness (especially men). All of that said, the Purion is a great display too, it works quite well.
