Pondering upgrading Character Sheets

I am running tests, if any of you are familiar with the AD&D2E standard sheet, let me know what your experience has been. We are currently using the "Simple" sheet.
I haven't used it myself but I just took a look at it and I think it has the potential to be an improvement for some things. If there's a way we can set up a macro to roll our attacks off the sheet for example that would make your life a little easier because you wouldn't have to edit our macros when we level up or get new abilities etc, just give us a macro that pulls the relevant info from the sheet and we can maintain the correct info ourselves. Also I like how it has more room for info on followers/henchman/familiars, this could become quite handy as Niko already has his church to attract followers and Victoria, Le' Sha, and myself are all at a point where we can attract followers if we build our stronghold. Another thing I liked was that it's more detailed about where items are equipped/carried. Also in case you're wondering I had an NPC in my game that I checked it out in and roll20 pulled all the info from the old sheet to the new automatically so there shouldn't be any issues there. The one gripe I have about it at this time is that you have to click various buttons to pull up different info instead of having it all in one page, this might slow things down if someone needs to look for things but with practice that shouldn't be an issue for long.
Old School Chris has a nice character sheet in both of his games.  We still need the macros but you can make rolls off the sheet.  I can send screenshots if you like. 
I have a sheet tester game you can join to see how it looks and works.  Al has seen it before, in the AD&D2e DM's group. There is also a newer one, still in the works, that will work for 1e and 2e and be very automated. Stephen S. is working on it. He has a tester game for that sheet as well.
