Default Value of Digital Servos

OK,
Im thinking about buying/building my 2nd pattern plane sometime before next year.
I'd like some folks who have had some experience to tell me what the real flight advantages of digital servos are. I understand what a digital servo does, well let me say that I understand enough to know how they physically respond differently to air flow feedback than standard servos. But is it really that big of a difference in the air? Im not talking about electronics and power use, Im talking about how the plane responds to control inputs and what the judge will see differently because Im flying digital servos?

Do they really give a good pattern pilot a significant advantage? Or is it just a "bells and whistles" thing with just a minimal advantage?
