Why don't you go price the competing solutions. They are at least double.

Does anyone else think the cost of a 530 with TAWS, or the $8,000 to add
it, is anywhere near reasonable? Perhaps someone could tell us what
incredible amount of programming, testing, processor improvement, or
whatever this takes.

I am thinking that this simply reflects more of Garmin getting too proud
of their success and their market domination. While I like the G1000
better than the present Avidyne and Chelton solutions, I am now hoping
avidyne "one ups" them in the next round.

Garmin has been making plenty of mistakes lately, and they should start
trying harder again.
