I'm going back and forth on whether to go with a GNC 355 GPS/COM ($6595) or a GPS 175 + GTR 20 combo ($4595 + $995).
I currently have a GX60, but you can't get databases for it anymore. If I wasn't planning a complete redo, the GNC 355 would be the easier replacement for the GX60. Since I'm almost ready to order a new panel, a G3X (or two) and a bunch of associated LRUs though, I'm leaning towards the GPS 175 plus remote comm, which is $1000 less than the GNC 355. I have a KX155 I'm planning to keep. I'm aware the KX155 and G3X don't work together.
I was initially unsure I'd like the remote radios, but having seen both Garmin and Dynon remote comms in action, I sort of like the idea now.
Anybody have any pointers to get me leaning further one way or the other? Is my logic faulty?
I couldn't decide if this belonged in GPS, COMM, or Glass Cockpit, so if the mods need it moved...
