All of my jets have airspeed. It is easy install and it makes consistent approaches much easier. You are right that if you want to just get a rough speed for wow factor GPS is fine and being that my airspeed is not callobrated in any way gps may be about as accurate but I don't care for my use. I use the airspeed for approach mostly. I do stall tests then set my approach speed accordingly. Don't care if my actual speed is 30, 40, 50, etc. Just that I am flying the same speed on each approach.
