Thinking about getting a used 196 - any pireps?

I thought about going this route before I bought my 296, and often
since I've wondered whether the grayscale screen wouldn't be a whole
lot easier to read in the air than the color one. The 296 is wonderful
to play with in the backyard, but in the Cub (with L-4 glazing) the
screen is often or usually washed out. It doesn't compare at all to
the clarity of my old Garmin III+.
