What is interesting, but hasn't come into play yet is that the G-1000 is
cheaper (to Cessna) than the instruments it replaces. At some point
manufacturers will stop charging a premium for glass. My guess is that it
will happen in the next two years.

Is it really cheaper? If you are talking about a replacement for a full
panel with HSI, Dual Nav/Com/GPS, engine analysis system, and intercom with
traffic - then you are certainly correct. But is it cheaper than a base
unit with a single Nav/Com?

Anyone know what the cost of the AHRS really is? That seems to be the main
thing. I can see how the rest could end up being cheaper easily.
