I like using Gauges/Meters/Thermometers as indicators because you can get a feel for values with a quick glance.
However, after a quick glance you may want a more accurate value. The Gauges/Meters/Thermometers have a "digital display" that will display the value but you cannot change the number format.
It kind of distracting when all the numbers on the FP are displayed in SI notation except for the gauge's digital displays which are in scientific notation, or a thermometer's digital display is showing 6 digits, especially when the value is varies about a whole number and the number of digits displayed varies as trailing digits are hidden.
My workaround is to add a numeric display for each gauge but it seems redundant when the solution is almost right there.
