Stein,
Thank you for the clarification, it was pretty much as I expected, and just what I have in mind. Regarding the lead time and Garmin... I can guess that whatever backlog developes for the 3GX, Garmin will be able to handle the volume and will honor pricing for orders placed before 12/31/10. You guys may get very busy with G3X panels soon... 
Thanx again,
Victor

Found one site publishing G3X combo price...
$13789 for G3X with GDU375(XM capable display), GDU370(no XM display), GSU73(ADAHRS), GMU44 (Magnetometer) not including the applicable Garmin rebate. It goes up from there with temp probe, autopilot, engine probes, subscriptions, antennas etc. Thats a 2 screen system.
As is common, if you call the vendors and talk over what you are looking for you should get some better pricing. I think its a ''list'' price and ''dealer price'' thing.

I got all excited for a few seconds, then realized the dollar amounts shown were just rebates.
Garmin remains too expen$$$$ive for me.

I could imagine very subdued demand for luxuries in the current economic environment.
I really don't understand why many aviation manufacturers, and many other industries for that matter, are so coy with the RRP price of their gear, especially in this electronic age.

Yeah. You can get a 10" Dynon Skyview for the price of Garmin's rebate!

I have a lowly D-100 and D-120 in my -10 and routinely fly IFR/IMC and they're sooo much easier to fly approaches with than the old round steam gauges.
Do you really need all that?
Best,

As long as I'm whining......
Why a rebate? Why not just lower the price?
Leaving the invoice price high just adds more cost to the buyer in the form of sales tax, etc. I have never understood this form of marketing. There must be some tax advantage or ?? for them.
