Borrowed a Snap-on torque wrench yesterday... now I get it

I've been using the same old Craftsman click-type torque wrench for about 8 years on engine work. Yesterday I had to torque down some cylinder base nuts on a PT6 and my buddy handed me his Snap-on digital one instead. The difference in feel and accuracy was night and day... that thing clicked so cleanly I actually heard the difference. Has anyone else switched to a digital torque wrench and noticed a real improvement in your work?

Yeah but now you'll never unfeel it, huh?

You're not wrong @grant569, I used to roll my eyes at people who got all deep about moments like this. But honestly? This one actually changed my mind. Can't unsee it now.
