Default King Kong vs Godzilla

I currently have both and really like the way Foreflight displays certain things, like the airport page. But Foreflight hitched their wagon to Stratus, and WingX moved on to be more external hardware friendly.
I am in line to receive my Sagetech Clarity next week. If this GPS, ADS-b, AHRS system works well...goodbye Foreflight. But I must also say that the centerpiece of my panel is now an ipad, and the AHRS Clarity feed is my only attitude reference. I am VFR day/night equipped, but really don't fly at night.

I'd been planning to go with the Garmin G3X for my panel... but have been wondering if something like the iLevil/iPad would make a fine panel instead of the traditional options.

Aviation Consumer compared several iPad apps, including FF and WX, and concluded WX was the best. You'll need a subscription to read the full article.

Have to disagree with that. WXP had track-up implemented over a year ago, FF still does not support ZAON traffic or ADSB traffic and have no plans to.

I intend to have a single Dynon Skyview screen, backed up by an iPad with FF or WX. But since I haven't flown this combo yet I can't comment how it works. My mission is day/night VFR.

I just got PocketFMS on my Nexus 7. Wouldn't touch an iProduct if it was thrown at me, but that's another story...

I haven't actually used it yet, but it seems OK, although a bit rough on the edges. Integrates with several EFIS's and work on almost any hardware (Apple, Android, MS). Full integration with Becker and MGL. Stores everything in the cloud for easy access on any device you may have. A license work on all devices you may have.

You're recommending a system you haven't used yet vs one (that works well) that you refuse to use????

I haven't recommended anything. Besides, neither of those other two works at all - outside US as far as I can see, and only on iPads.
