In sunlight, mine has about the same visibility as my Ipad. (faint
praise indeed) I haven't explored changing screen settings. In
general, I'm delighted with my Nexus7, but something with a
sunlight-readable screen might do better as a glider computer.

Vaughn, you already have one? Wow. That answers my question whether Asus would deliver as they had troubles with the Transmformer Prime. The display brightness is ~400nits which is supposed to be decent for sunlight(same as my phone). Its not quite as bright as other more expensive Asus tablets which have a special mode that kicks it up to 600 or so, but should be a bit better than the iPAD. Perhaps a matte screen cover will help with reflections?

The following website does a display comparison between different tablets vs iPAD.

Yes. I ordered mine straight off the Google Play site. It took about
two weeks for it to arrive. I bought it to hopefully replace the Ipad
that I fly (powered) with, which actually belongs to my wife.
