There's some obvious disadvantages to the current LRT as listed above but I don't feel that the proposed new timer offers enough advantages to use it over the current one.

The biggest problem I have with it is the hardware ceiling that the new timer would effectively put on someone with a bad/midrange PC. IMO, having a good or incredible PC shouldn't be a requirement to get a good time/PB.

Also can't help but feel that the new LRT would only demoralise old/current and new runners, if they know going in to it that there is a hard cap placed on their potential PB when it has nothing to do with their individual skill level in the game/route.
