I was replying to Jim's comment which basically said live view dual pixel isn't good enough, really need the multiple duel cross sensors. I suppose dual pixel requires use of the LCD, which is a drawback in sun....

To clarify, DPAF is just fine on both the T7i and SL2. But DPAF is as you say...LCD only. The OVF is MUCH more effective for tracking active (i.e. flying, not static) aircraft photography. That's where the need for additional cross type auto focus points comes in quite handy.
