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.

Make that long XC flights across the midwest then yes, but for trips up to SFO or similar no way...
