Agreed.  In fact, I like it better than the old ones.

And I really like the digital ammeter. ;-)

I mounted mine in the Ford Superduty on the left side of the steering 
wheel at the top left corner of the fuse panel so I can both see it 
all the time and operate the manual button with my wrist resting on 
my left knee.  I used the entire length of the supplied cable to run 
down and behind the parking brake mount, then up in a big, gentle 
loop that comes back down and mounts directly in front of the clamp 
on the brake pedal arm.  The longer cable also lets me rest the fuse 
panel on the seat when I have it off for other reasons.

Some folks use the cubby hole in the dash, but that's where I keep 
the Valentine One radar detector when it's not in use, to keep it out 
of the sun and less visible to passers-by.  

Still have to mount a CB and that will probably go below the flat 
depression in the bottom of the dash that Ford apparently put there 
for one.
