FYI, one big reason why iFly has a resistive screen instead of a capacitive screen is because they're far better performers in bright sunlight, and that's been a big selling point for iFly hardware over the years. They've got the best sunlight-readable devices available. It's a direct trade-off...or at least it has been in the past. Not sure where that tech comparison stands today, but I'd guess it still favors the resistive screens.

That may have been the case with older LCD displays but with newer TFT/LED displays, it's no longer true. One downside of LED's is they draw more electrical current, hence lower battery life vs. LCD.
Here's a link to a blog detailing some of the differences between resisitive vs. capacitive screens:
