486 vs GDL69a

Decision time. Do I go for a panel mounted GDL69a in my 77 Mooney (MX20)
for a big price tag. Or do I do the cheap and cheerful 486 portable route
? Seems on a cost basis that the 486 is the choice . Why wouldn't you ?
I like the integrated approach for the neatness factor. No wires hanging
about. The weather will be overlayed on my flight plan with one place to
look.
Any comments ? Thanks.
Get the 496. In addition to the weather stuff, you'll have a backup navigator
on the yoke with a panel display that can help save your butt if you lose your
gyros.
A little discreet use of tie-wraps and adhesive clips will neaten up the
cables.
