When you think about the retrofit market, the form factor and functionality
are pretty much fixed. The box has to be 6.25" wide. It has to have VHF
radio functionality. I needs VOR/LOC/GS. It needs a color screen. It
needs to be able to control (and display) other boxes for
weather/entertainment/traffic ect. So at the end of the day, whatever you
do, it is going to look a lot like a 530.

It looks a lot like my 480 does today :-)

I'm getting more an more impressed with this box every hour I fly behind
it. GPS Steering is way cool.
