And what alternative would you suggest instead of the Garmin 530 that I plan

Have you talked to Garmin about the future of the 530 line? I just
don't see how it makes any sense for Garmin to continue to supoprt both
the CNX-80 and the 430/530 line, but at this point, I think it's
anybody's guess which will get the axe.
