Isn't it also possible to refit an older airplane with an Avidyne? That's
a
huge market that's being ignored by Garmin.

Still, cost is a major factor. At a certain price, it's better to buy new
than have a spiffy glass panel in a 20-30 year old airplane.

Currently, the only glass panel retrofit is the Chelton, and I understand it
is rather pricey. I have been hoping that AOPA coughs up a figure for what
it would cost a regular guy to buy that new panel for the commander.
