I like the smaller screen (relatively... 12" is still a good size) just for the sake of real buttons and dials for most of the controls. I don't quite understand why screens are considered an upgrade... sure they look cleaner, but they are certainly a much bigger distraction when driving, especially when your controls are buried a few clicks deep. Every click is taking your eyes off the road, making sure your finger is lined up correctly, pressing the screen, repeat because it didn't register, find your option, click the wrong thing because you went over a bump, undo it, finally make your adjustment. With big screens, there's nowhere to rest your hand to steady it.
With buttons, you have positive tactile registration - rest your hand on something near your controls, use your sense of touch to find what you need, and make an adjustment with positive tactile feedback - no need to look away from the road except for a quick glance to find generally where your hand should go. IMO it's safer and easier to use.
