: It's like flying a long cross country w/o an autopilot. Doable but why
: would you, if you had a choice? A/P $10-15k. ANR $250+

I just got back from a 5500 nm cross-country in a Cherokee with no autopilot.
At $10-15K and probably 50 lbs, it's not worth installing in many-a-plane.

The ANR is definately worth it (as you're proposing). I like the good passive
performance and comfort of the Lightspeed QFR XC-2. ANR isn't as aggressive as in
some, but the high-end Lightspeeds are horrible in their high-frequency
*amplification* IMO.
