Hi Dico...I very recently had my entire 360 panel redone and am very, very h=
appy with the results.  I am on the road right now but off the top of my hea=
d...I now have a dual screen G3X with every option offered (XM radio and wea=
ther, traffic, etc). I traded out my Sorcerer and went with the new GX Pilot=
 which was co-developed by Garmin and TruTrac.  I removed my WAAS GNS 530 an=
d installed a GTN650.  I traded out my 327 transponder and went with the 330=
 so I would be ADS B capability (not good coverage in my part of the country=
, but not too bad).  I am short on time so I will stop there but with you be=
ing in Florida, may I suggest you contact Todd or Tom (owners) of Southern A=
vionics in Mobile AL?  I have used them exclusively for the past 12 years.  T=
hey have done many, many upgrades, partial and full panel.  I have never bee=
n anything but totally satisfied.

Best of luck however you decide to go.  If you would like to discuss live wi=
th me please do not hesitate to call my cell...228 342-2521.
