I should (hopefully) see what it's like for myself in a month.

The LCD display doesn't detract from the speedo lighting or lack of as it's very dim.

It's both imo.If you take the fuel gauge as an example this is perfectly illuminated unlike the main display sections which can't be read in certain conditions and is uneasy on the eye at the best of times.

It would certainly be easier to code the back light as it already exists.
