By full approach, I mean flying it as published. Usually a T approach, but
sometimes there's a hold as part of the approach. Flying the full approach
is easier with the WAAS. You don't have to input headings on the heading
bug. It is more predictable because it's published. No chance of
miscommunication on vectors. No constantly adjusting the heading bug. No
chance of the controller bringing you around to close of an automatic
glideslope couples.

With my 530 upgraded to WAAS, I think it's easier to fly full procedure
GPS approaches rather than take vectors.


Full procedure GPS approaches? Do you mean proceeding direct to an IAF on
a basic-T approach versus being vectored to join the FAC?



Does it complicate life for
controllers when you request the full procedure?


Not if there's no other traffic.
