Yes, I mean the Terrainsafe feature which is very nice by itself. Only, when flying at a planned altitude of say 1400 ft QNH, with terrain up to about 300-400ft, it will show Yellow or Orange most of the flight. In this case, one would be tempted to turn Terrainsafe off, negating its value. Sometimes I want it to show only Red ( 500ft or less clearance over terrain), less than 100ft or so might warrant blinking Red. 1500 ft QNH is certainly a commonly used altitude for VFR flights, not requiring constant Yellow Terrainsafe. It really depends on the area, in the Alps I certainly want my 1500ft warning, in the Low Countries, 500ft would be good enough.
Too many alarms are not good either, they dilute the value.
