The GDL 69, although not perfect, integrates well with my 530,
particularly
in combination with the stormscope. .....

The XM radio is an added bonus, particularly on those long cross country
trips.

Um, you don't get he XM radio from the GDL 69, you need the GDL 69A. And
that is not a bonus, but the list price is $780 more. And don't forget the
extra installation to hook up the audio to your audio panel.
