Jokes aside, the answer is obvious: The higher performance ship needs
more sophisticated instruments to max out it's performance. For
example on final glide in a 1-26 you can eye ball how far you can
glide, on an ETA you'll need a moving map flight computer to get an
idea how far you can glide, how many mountain ranges you'll be able to
cross etc, giving MC setting, wind, bugs etc...

So lets say you suddenly came into possession of all 3. The Clear Nav
seems to be about the niftiest of all the nifty flight displays out
there. The 1-26 is currently winning the OLC in the USA, and the Eta
is the hottest of the Open Class. You intend to fly both gliders to
their cross country potential. But the Clear Nav can only go in one
ship, which do you choose?

If you can afford an Eta, you can afford 2 clearnavs!

But you have to admit - one clearnav + 2 RAM mounts is more economical.
