[RCSE] Why digital servos?

[Chuck Anderson]

I have been using Volz servos exclusively for flaps and ailerons since 1996 
without ever having a failure.  Now Volz has discontinued the servos that 
have given me such good service for so long and replaced them with digital 
servos and a much higher price.  My question is why digital?  What do they 
have to offer for my style flying?  I fly only AMA thermal soaring and do 
not fly F3B, slope, dynamic soaring, or any other high speed flying.  I 
don't even make high speed dives from thermals or make high speed 
flybys.  I can see no advantage for digital servos other than they cost 
more, run hotter, and have higher power consumption.  What am I missing?
