Each to his own - I have a Yaesu FT-847 with the 'shuttle' ring which 
does dynamic tuning similar to that, and I hate it.  By the time I get 
it near the frequency I want, it scoots off to somewhere well beyond the 
mark.  I just can't get the 'feel' for that rapid tuning (yes, it does 
tune slowly near the center and quite rapidly at the extremes, but I 
just can't seem to get my hand and brain coordinated to make it work 
decently.  Your mileage may vary.
