I have the same bad boy. The digital ones are silly money, but probably worth it. On rim brakes it makes a huge difference to braking as there is much less inconsistent rim deflection from the pads, so bikes brake much better. There are of course the obvious advantages in terms of more even spoke tension, distribution of tension round the rim etc etc.
