Old school frame rack vs. the new laser measuring system

Been in this trade since 1998, started on a beat up Blackhawk rack in a shop near Cleveland. We pulled everything by eye and a tape measure, took forever but you learned the metal. Last month my boss finally got one of those computerized laser alignment setups, cost like $35k. I was skeptical at first, figured it was just a fancy screen. Tried it on a 2019 F150 that was hit hard on the rear corner, and honestly it showed me the frame was tweaked 6mm in a spot I woulda missed. The old way worked but this new thing is just faster and more exact, cuts my setup time in half. Anyone else making the switch or sticking with the old tools?
