Hey - I'm getting ready to place the last big order for my panel. I had been planning on going with Dynon's Skyview system - as when I evaluated these systems it appeared to offer the best bang for the buck. However, with the recent significant price drop on Garmin's G3X system and autopilot, the price for a 2 screen system from either Garmin or Dynon appears to be nearly a wash.
I wish I would have noticed the price drop when I was at Oshkosh, so I could have looked into the G3X system in more detail when I was there.
What I am trying to figure out now, is what I gain or lose in switching from a Skyview system over to a G3X system. So far I have identified the following...
Gain - XM Weather, Taxi Diagrams
Lose - Screen in front of co-pilot, AOA
I really wish I would have directly compared these two at Oshkosh...... So for the folks that were able to play with both, did you have a strong preference either way, and if so why? Are their any other items to add to the gain/lose columns between the two systems? (note - panel will be VFR panel with 2 axis AP, I'm not planning on any additional GPS units, etc)
Thanks,
Jason
