Rob, since cost is a factor, heres some free advice.  I would suggest
mounting the VOR antenna (or returning it for a refund) and plan on buying
the latest handheld GPS no sooner than one week before you absolutely need
it.  

Just plan a location on your panel for it and wait for more features and a
lower price.  The handhelds offer more features for less $$ since they are
not TSOed- - - - been flying with a Garmin 195 for 3 years.
