Aleksolder:
The variety and quantity of replies might be suggestive that the graphic display is the way to go, despite its shortcomings. With graphics, owners could write their own displays. Even though very few might actually do it, knowing it's possible is a strong selling point, and also frees you from this difficult design decision.

I did this with a process control system that I designed, and suddenly a very contentious issue (among fussy customers and my own team) evaporated. Smiles all around.

 I agree but... we do not know what exactly "new" uSupply is and without that it is hard to say if graphical LCD is something that the few % hacking it will put to good use or something that buyers wont even bother touching because base capabilities will be too limited.

Even then, arguably making product more expensive to make it hackable for tiny % is not a good idea.

other side of the sword : fixed segment display holds up development until all is cast in stone....

RES:
Pervasive e-paper?
