With respect to the Freeflight 1101:

Talked with a knowledgeable person at Sun n Fun, according to him:

1)  Freeflight 1101 (despite what D2 portrayed) is definitely not intended 
for IFR use.  (D2 knew this)
2)  Freeflight is willing to swap out 1101 for 1201 for about $2,500 for a 
limited time
3)  1201 will probably be upgradeable to gamma 3 (precision approach) within 
the next year or so

Can anybody confirm this?

If this is so, it would seem to me to make sense to make the swap.
