What's your preference, John?

If you like steam gauges, this one is the best rendition out there. No other plane (from my experience) gives you those graphics and feel of a old "jet-age" liner.
What it takes from you is some will to e. g. learn to live with that old and lazy AP and to use VORs or the later INS to navigate, while checking all the flight engineer workload too, like watching the fuel setup and calculating some speeds with the help of the manuals and tables.

This isn't the plane for the guys flying the FMCs (which Lou calls "sissy stuff") only and not willing to learn some basics. But don't worry, you can grow on her.
At the current price, the 707 is a no-brainer for steam lovers.
