FWIW, the fuel-injected rentals at Mac Dan (where the OP rents) include one
or two (I'm not sure if the second has arrived) 172S models with whatever
Nav Package includes the big MFD along with the BK GPS.

They're nice airplanes, and quite far from the typical wrent-a-reck. It's
why I used to rent there myself.

[Well, they also used to have a 182S.]

Lincoln Park Aviation, BTW, also has three (four?) 172Ss on their rental
line. They got some of my business too.
