Well the Air has no display either on the RC. I've been flying drones for 6+ years (started with the AR Parrot) and never had any use for obstacle avoidance as I've never seen the point of putting obstacles between the drone and myself (not to mention that it's illegal since it's no longer LOS) to get good footage and pictures. I'll say that the screen helped (as in "peace of mind") me once on the MP when the connection was lost between the RC and the smartphone, but again it was more for peace of mind because while it was not within eyesight there were no obstacles.
While I can understand the lack of AT since there is no OA so they don't want idiots to crash their drone during an AT session and then complain, the lack of Panos and Spheres is really petty and will have made them lose at least one sale. On the other hand I'm sure there will be thousand of unsuspecting buyers who will be oblivious to that fact that these great photo modes are missing/exist even on the lowly Spark...and the fact that the YT "reviews" are completely "mum" on the subject won't hurt.
