Most of the magazines tend to put a strong polish on the products unless
they are just pitiful (in which case they seem to just ignore them).

When I read the same article you quoted, I got negative impressions of the
UI.

Really? Tom Benenson in Flying has spoken well about it, as did someone
in
one of the more recent IFRs. These are just the most recent; I've seen
other praise further in the past.

I don't recall reading of anyone complaining about the UI in the press.
Have you a reference; I'd like to see the specifics of the complaint(s).
Like you, I've not tried one.

In my search for a used 430, I have heard too much talk that a new panel
mount is just around the corner though.

From Garmin or someone else? I've been wondering by Bendix hasn't an
entry
in that market (unless I've missed it).
