I've got a slot to upgrade to ADS-B right after the first of the year. I'm going to also upgrade to an electronic flight display and was planning on the Aspen with the new 55X functionality. However, Garmin just came out with some pretty good end of the year savings and made the race pretty tight. Here's my options:
A: Aspen with SV and 55X functionality
GDL-88 for ADS-B
B: Garmin G500 with SV and GAD43e for autopilot functionality
GTX345R for ADS-B
Will keep my current stack for now of GMA-340, GMX-200, GNS-480, SL-30, with GDL-69 XM weather. The G500 will require at least a new Pilots panel. The price delta is +$10K for the G500.
Trying to decide which way to go. Thoughts?
