He's talking about issues like WAAS on the 530/430 and other unkept
promises. I also feel like I have been done over by Garmin who promised and
not delivered on the 530/430. At the time the 480 was not an option.

No, you're not "stuck" waiting for Garmin.
I've had my MX20/GNS480(nee CNX80) combination for two years.

I'd get whatever could output to a flat panel such as Avedyne (sp?).
Anything but Garmin. I bought the sales line 'in a few months, later this
year at the latest for about 3 years now. Get an IFR panel model that
outputs to a panel and other functions come with. Go Garmin and your
stuck
w/ waiting for them to add it to the 530/430.

Looking to upgrade the panel to include an IFR GPS. Are there really any
alternatives to Garmin? (either 430 or 480 or 530) (where alternative is
defined as comparable functionality for comparable price)?
