I feel like it's easier to judge the timing of a traditional scrolling news ticker (meaning to look away for a time, when you're awaiting a specific item to come back round). The flipper feels like an anxious thing. Frankly one does occasionally wonder, is it stuck or will it flip round (not that it's ever been stuck, but as with the robot cameras, one still wonders, will today be the day?). It's also just nice to be able to look up at a monitor/window and see a constantly moving on-screen item in a consistent region of the screen (feed not frozen).
