Default Collision avoidance - was - Baron Cessna MidAir

MRX-A (Portable Collision Avoidance System) $589.99

I've been looking at these.
Zoan has two ... one for $589 and one for $1895. Anyone here have the
more expensive one? I've only read the small blurbs about both. What
makes the higher one worth $1300 more?

1. Multiple target tracking/reporting.
2. Closest target quadrant reporting.
3. Interface and display to GPS hardware (incl Garmin 396/496)

"Worth it?", that's your call.

I hear ya.

Do you use either of these? If so, what's your opinion of it?
I recently flew in a friend's plane that had TCAS. Maybe it's just that
I'm not used to it ... while of course I see the benefit, I could also
see how it could be an added distraction. Just curious to hear from
others who have used them regularly.

Thanks for responding.

Look at the thread I referenced a couple of posts ago. There have been
discussions of this over on r.a.soaring as well, but I'm too lazy to look
them up for you.
