While I appreciate the position that both Lancair and Chelton have taken regarding the troubles with Direct2, I have lost some confidence that Chelton will continue to support the experimental market over the longer term.  I’m not saying that they won’t, but recent events have reawakened my previously dormant suspicious mind.  While pondering this, I read a glowing review of the Garmin G600, I think it was in either Flying or Kitplanes.

Based on what I read, I think the Garmin is supposed to be available for less than $30,000.  You may need a 430 or 530 which is probably not included in the price, but I was already planning on a 530 even with the Chelton.

This makes me wonder whether anyone knows much about the G600 (http://www.garmin.com/products/g600/).  Is it competitive with the Chelton Sport?  Is anyone else considering the Garmin, or at least holding off on their EFIS decision till they learn more about it?
