#4 -- Have Garmin 430W installed, also with new indicator. Estimated

Data point: A prospective buyer just told me he had decided not to buy my
airplane solely on the basis of its not having a 430 installed.

While I think this is crazy, I don't doubt it. It seems that the 430 is
just about the only radio that brings any extra value to a light single.
My question is, how long will that last? Until the next great model is
released?

That all being said, I'm not planning to sell any time soon, so the
panel sans a 430 isn't a huge concern at this point.
