Default Garming 296 & 396 Discontinued?

Looking on the Vans Aircraft Front page it seems they are not offering the 296 & 396 any more in the RV12 kit, something about Garmin discontinuing them.

I searched but can't find any online news about it.

Does anyone know if there are Garming replacement plans or new units in the work on the lower end?

Thanks,
Rudi

Yep that is the word.

They did lower the price of the 496 so I think that is the new lower end.
