Thanks. I think you can get both the 150 and 250 with or without an internal
GPS.

These are about 4K cheaper than an MX20 and I think a much better value for
money, at least as far as my flying is concerned.

I've just bought a 1977 C-206 and want to upgrade the avionics package. I'll
eventually (sometime this year) get IFR certified so I'm looking at MFD,
Stormscope, HSI as possible upgrades. But, as you say, there's a lot of "ego
boosting" stuff you could add to it. Trying to cut through all that.

Other than that I don't think the plane needs anything else. It already has
a back-up electric gyro, fuel computer (shadin), horton STOL conversion, IFR
GPS (GX-55), two KX-155 radios, transponder, dme...

Regards,

Carlos.

Isn't the 250 the one with the integrated GPS? BTW, many a friend who
do not need ego boosters are using these King displays. They look
great, and for the money, do a good job. Now one of these, with a
KX155 with g/s and a simple IFR GPS/COM would be all the weekend pilot
would need for any IFR work and that occasional trip to vacationland.
With the money you'll save, you can buy that Ferrari!

I've pretty much narrowed down my multi-function display to one of these
two
models (King MDF-150 and MFD-250).

I'd love to hear any comments and/or preferences regarding these.

The 150 has a larger screen but the 250 has a relative terrain mapping
feature (terrain is colored according to your current altitude). They
both
interface to a WX-500 Stormscope and have internal GPS, as well as
connecting to my external one (Apollo GX-55).

Price seems to be quite close and while the 150 has the larger screen,
the
250 will interface to radar and tcas systems (which I don't currently
have).

Thanks for any thoughts,

CGP.
