I do like the combination of dipstick and a sensor. My 406 needs a bit of oil between the changes, but it's fitted with a oil level indicator, so I don't normally have to check the level from the dipstick. When the indicator shows oil level below the middle I just add some oil and check from the dipstick when it's close to max. And it's easy to see the sensor working, because indicator shows the level every time I turn ignition on and of course it shows different level of oil if the car is not on a level ground. So it takes some worries of driving an old car away, but I'd never want to have only the electronic oil level indicator instead of the dipstick. I guess in the future I don't have a choice :/
