Lowest Cost GPS IFR system?

Maybe something in the Apollo GX50/55/60/65 series? You'll find, though, that the cost of installation is a big part of making it IFR, so if you're going to spend a lot on installation, it seems a shame to waste it on a cheap unit. I went through this calculation way back in 2000 or so. I even had the advantage of having a loran that would have had an upgradable pinout to the Apollo. I went 430 and am happy with that decision. I doubt it would have saved any real money in any case.
