Nearest near-miss?

These anecdotes make me wonder. Has anyone ever installed ADS-B-out or TABS in gliders BEFORE having a near-collision? What were your reasons for taking the plunge? I know that it is not uncommon to install transponders as a precaution before having a close call, but there seems to be more reluctance to install ADS-B-out and TABS even amongst people have ample disposable income. This is just my impression. I installed a Trig22 and TN72 as SIL=3 in an experimental ASW27b PRIOR to a close call (that I know of...) I want to give myself every advantage to see and be sen by other aircraft. I also have FLARM and a dedicated traffic display, and an AH if things should suddenly go white...
