Bill,
 
No, I didn't really feel like = it was worth the extra $1k for the touch screen.  But I did opt f= or the engine monitor board, gps, and ADS-B.  While the engine monitor=  provides redundancy, I really like the aural warnings it provide= s.  So, I don't have to fly with one eye on the EM-2 and one looking f= or traffic.  My purchasing logic was to go with the "bi= g screen" so that I wouldn't need a second screen.  So far, it appears= this will work out just fine.  I'll be using ForeFlight on a iPad for= moving map, flight planning, weather, etc.  It would have been helpfu= l to have the extra serial ports a second screen would provide as the = AF-5800 is limited to four.  Five serial ports would have been optimum, but a work-= around was done to make this work.  I hope to fly it for the first tim= e this weekend.

I didn't weigh the two = units, but I would guess the AFS is about 5# lighter than the BMA.  AF= S gave a 30% rebate on the old BMA unit, and I didn't even have to ask.&nbs= p; Great customer service too!  I highly recommend AFS.  If inter= ested, call and ask for Trisha Blank.
