The 430/530 does *not* do weather at all without an additional $5,000
receiver.

That fact pointed out, I agree with Tom that the 430/530 are certified for
IFR flight. To counter your points about the number of pilots who fly
hard IFR with a 430/530 or a B/K certified GPS, I could name about
twenty-five including myself who do so at my home airport.

You are probably going to need a bigger sample size before I could accept
your low percentage figures.
