As said before, Garmin shafts the existing customers by promising
(salesman's mouth open) things to keep folks from buying Avidyne. I've
bought my last Garmin product.

They're turning into the Microsoft of aviation.

Unfortunately, the competition is way behind. How many KLN94's are
being sold these days?

Personally, I'll stick with my GPSMAP 196 and my KX-155. When the price
of WAAS approach capable GPS units comes down to earth I may consider
buying one.

In the meantime, I can do a heck of a lot of flying for 10+ grand.

Well since the 430 (or even the 530) doesn't compete against avidyne
I don't understand wy it is an issue. The G1000 competes against
Avidyne, but they won't sell that to end users. The MX20/GNS480
competes against avidyne (sort of) but it has WAAS.
