For one thing it lights up, much easier to see in the dark/low light and can see while standing up. And I don't have to unplug and plug in and unplug the thing every time I need to tune. Just step on the switch and bam. You can also get an adapter and plug it into an outlet, so no need for batteries. It's the little things.

Why would a 7 year old child that has never played an instrument be playing in the dark? Also, now you have to buy a second cable for the output to the amp and an adapter. Let's keep this simple, it's just a 7 yr old trying to learn how to play. I agree with you about it being a must-have when playing live, (I actually like the Boss TU-3 model but YMMV) but a 7 yr old wont be playing live or in the dark.
