No, I stayed with the PDA. It can be a hassle zooming in and out, but I normally have all of my numbers written down before shooting the approach, so I use it more for situational awareness of my position on the approach (the superimposed plane as it flies over the approach plate). I am aware that the approach plate is not to scale, however, it is a nice back up if one radio says I'm about to blow through the localizer, and another says I'm on course. I know no one else on this board has ever dialed in a wrong freq and forgot to verify, but one time, a long time ago, I read about a guy who did that, so I like redundant views of my approach in the clag.
