Porsche's layout may look too busy, but in reality it works the best on a manual car, especially on the track. You really have to drive one to understand. Just one glimpse and you get all the information you need from the central gauge.
The Aston's cluster may look fancy, but it doesn't work at all. The beautiful metal is very distracting, the tach needle oddly turns counterclockwise, and the most ridiculous of all: the entire legal speed range is covered in less than one fifth of the speedo.
You could just tell that the Aston's instrument was designed by someone who relies on public transit and bicycles, whereas the guy at Porsche probably spent most of his time staring at a Stack race cluster on the Nurburgring.
