I guess that all depends. Some Garmin GPS, Aera 560 and the previous 396, 496 (all WX capable) fit with no problem in my ASH26E. I have a 796 w/wx, and that's too big!

True. The 396/496 are awesome units but not exactly small. I used to have one in my little liberty XL2. Can easily be mounted flush in the panel with an OEM panel mounting plate. Used on Enay from $450-700, respectively.
