GPS altitude accuracy vs. barometric sensor

Tom Pycke tested GPS altitude measurement vs a barometric sensor with his UAV. It shows that today's GPS sensors give excellent altitude readings, accurate to a few meters even if they're only getting 5 or 6 satellites. More ammunition for those of us who would rather not use a pressure sensor if we don't need to.
