Does anyone out there think XM weather is worthwhile in SoCal? If so,
why?

Can't comment specifically on XM or SoCal...but, for long x-c flying, we
flew a newer C-182 with the ground based weather uplink system (can't
recall the name at the moment) and it was very helpful in avoiding some
weather enroute. If I was mostly flying VFR in a localized area, I'd
have a hard time coughing up $10K for XM weather...but if I was flying a
significant amount of x-c time, IMHO, it's worth it.
