Maybe I won't think about an HSI after all. 12K is a lot of money.
The GPS/NAV/COM is still on the agenda though.

You can get a reconditioned NSD360A for about $3500 (but our avionics shop won't
warranty it), or a reconditioned KCS-55A for about $5200 (but it doesn't work
with our autopilot).

Check out http://www.avionix.com, click on avionics guidebook, then HSI.
