I don't know what all the features on this new beast will be, but generally the lcd screen is there for setup PRIOR to flying. I fly sailplanes and I can tell you that if you take your eyes of the glider at altitude you may never see it again. I highly doubt there would be anything worth looking at on the screen while flying. Audible alarms and timer pings would be useful though. So, I'm guessing the gui is there to help you setup your model. This can actually get quite complicated so a gui might be nice. I know that navigating my Futaba 9C menus can be confusing if I haven't used it for a bit.
