Depends on how you structure your weekend.
I used it in Hungary in 08 and yes it was brilliant! The information at hand, and choice of video footage, is nothing short of awesome!
But we had grandstand seats and kept to them all weekend. Hungary is a bit more limiting that way, where less than 1/3 of the track is available to explore around. We did all our exploring on the saturday morning & after that we stayed in our seats.
In Australia this year, you could walk around 90% of the track on the inside & outside, there were huge screens almost everywhere you looked, and some of the vantage points were awesome!
Since i walked around so much, stopping at various places, there was no way i would've given the Roo enough time to justify the cost. I found all i needed for info was on the screens anyway.
In addition to that, it was damn exciting getting caught up in the atmosphere of the race & the crowd, instead of being anti-social glued to my little portable screen.
So depends, are you going to be walking around enjoying the atmosphere & exploring the views, or glued to a grandstand seat that you paid for with its great view..?
