I strongly prefer analog, especially if buying used. I have a couple vernier calipers that will hold their accuracy until the end of time essentially because there’s nothing to move or fail on them. I guarantee they are as accurate as any dial or digital model, though a little slower to use.
Nice thing about digital is that it doesn’t matter what angle I am looking at it from . And my old eyes aren’t as good at reading small gauges . But I agree with your assessment.
