Thomas,

They say that nothing succeeds like success.

I figure if you marry a reliable airframe (Skyhawk) with the best avionics
(ok, the jury may still be out on this...) you are putting a plus with a
plus.

I don't need (nor want) to get anywhere at near the speed of sound at some
unbeliveably high flight level.

All I would be looking for is a reliable aircraft and a system by which I
can garner the most information regarding my heading, altitude and airspeed
in as easy a manner as possible.

Know the pilot, know the mission. Hence, the Garmin 1000 equipped Skyhawk.

Sure you say that now, but you may eventually find yourself wanting to go
20% or 30% faster, or carrying more than 2 people with full fuel.

Your mission will change over time.

Morris,

Fair enough, but the OP said if I won the AOPA Twin today...

Today, my mission criteria still stand. Over time is a relative
term...we'll see where it leads!

;O)

Thread drift. We were talking about a G1000 in a Skyhawk. The
172's a reliable and proven airframe, but the G1000 just seems
like overkill. Not that I'd refuse to fly it, of course.

Of course. It's the journey, not the destination.

Au Contre mon ami! The Skyhawk is the perfect trainer platform for the
G-1000. It's simple to operate, lots of people know how to fly them, you
can fly an approach at max cruise power to simulate a high performance
aircraft.
