transponder help

I have been installing a KT76A transponder and realized I had installed the connector upside down. In the mean time I came across a Garmin 327 new in the box for $950 with my KT76A as trade in. I was given the KT76A so I am not sure how it will perform. I am leaning toward getting new to have less worries. Any opinions? Thanks

The Garmin has some really nice features if you read the owners manual.

Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Did you know it has a flight timer?
