Question about using a thermal camera versus a standard multimeter for finding a short

I spent three hours last week trying to find a short in a nav system using just a multimeter, tracing wires and checking continuity. I borrowed a coworker's FLIR E4 thermal camera, and the hot spot showed up in about two minutes. Has anyone else made the switch to thermal imaging for this kind of fault finding?
