Cessna aircraft with G1000 series avionics

Considering the purchase of a new (2005, 2006,) C182.
I would prefer not to have the Glass cockpit as I have heard some
fairly strong evidence that the software is still two years behind the
hardware and the system is problematic.
Specifically, I understand that there have been numerous events where
the DU's go blank in flight and require a hard reboot to get them back
online. Additionally I have been told that sometimes they will do this
at start up and flights have been delayed or cancelled due to this
problem.
There is also a suggestion that the overall quality of the hardware is
suspect as the DU lense covers are delaminating and control knobs and
switches have a high failure rate.

If there are any operators out there that could comment on these issues
I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks,
Terry
