Martin,
Be aware that only numerical displays impose additional workload to the
pilot. You would actually have to read the number and the brain has to
process the numbers and compare them mentally.
In your case, I would look for some instruments with a combined analog and
digital representation in one instrument.
Example is at

.
The nice thing about digital once is that many have a monitoring feature and
will ring an alarm when certain programmed levels are exceeded.
You find also nicer looking once in the automotive and aviation industry if
you look further.
Advantage of analog representation is that you just need to have a short
look at the instrument to see that all data are in the right area. Much
quicker and less workload to the brain. This is exactly the reason why the
digital representation in a car never took of.
