Personally, analog calipers are more trustworthy to me, because you can never be in a state where you forgot to press the zeroing button - which happened to someone running a modern machine shop right in front of my eyes.

There's something to be learned here about every process, be it technology, customer retention, sales funnels, you name it. Having less steps is so extremely powerful that it can easily outweigh additional functionality of some sort.
