Head Up vs. Head Down in Extreme Conditions

You are in a low-visibility approach to Atlantic City (KACY) with a 40 knot crosswind. Primus Epic with EVS/SVS helps you stay on course with a daylight view of the world outside. Head Up Displays (HUD) are oriented to the nose of the aircraft. So when crabbing on an approach in extreme conditions, a pilot's workload is increased by keeping track of the flight path marker and the runway in separate locations on the screen.
