Paul,

Cost of the
exchange from my older 430 was $2500. Labor to install new antenna and
cable plus tax came to $650.

Could you explain how the 2500 accumulate? 1500 is the actual update
from Garmin, right? What is the rest? The new antenna?

The $2500 is a brand new 430w in exchange for my older 430, not the
$1500 upgrade. The new units are readily available. The $1500 price
is for new guts in an old 430, and I've been told does not include
terrain info. The new innards have to be installed by Garmin, so you
have to get a place in line, then ship the unit and wait for its
return.

Got it, thanks. Do deals like that come from avionics shops or from
Garmin?

I'm doing the same deal- trading a 530 for a 530W, and some older King
radios for a new 430W. They both have terrain, as well as Nexrad radio,
graphical and textual metars, Stormscope, and XM channels over the intercom.
All it needs now is satellite TV to watch during those long cross countries!
