Default LXNAV S80 Pilot Reports?

I am flying with a new S80 for the first time this season. It is a replacement for a Cambridge 302.
My set-up is the S80, Oudie 2 with SeeYou Mobile, Flarm, and transponder.
I have the S80 vario set-up with 100% electronic compensation with my mechanical Winters on the Total Energy Probe.
I was a bit overwhelmed by all the settings that need to be made to configure the unit the way that you like. I am finding that I need to fly with it to decide on what features I use and what information boxes I want to display.
Having said all that, I really enjoy the S80 and am getting comfortable with how to change settings while flying.
The vario seems very good and is less confused by gusts than the C302.
The display is clear and bright in full sunlight.
All the sounds are fully customizable.
The Thermal Assist is very similar to SeeYou Mobile.
The Flarm display and alarms are clear.
The artificial horizon is FANTASTIC. On all the time. Cannot be tumbled. I spent part of yesterday thermalling using just the artificial horizon and it was fairly easy to stay fully coordinated and keep the speed under perfect control.
I am 100% satisfied at this point.
