This may be a little off the subject, but I'm good a that!

 

This months' Aviation Consumer has a interesting article on sferics vs. XM.  In summary, if you want to take a wide berth around weather, XM is the best choice.  But if you like to pick your way through tight spaces, the delay in XM makes sferics a better choice.  I personally fall in the first group, no tight squeezes for me.

 

Since sferics have been around for much longer, many users are more familiar with them, but even with that fact, 9 out of 10 readers who responded to the survey said if they could have only one system they would choose XM.  However about 50% of the readers thought having both was important.
