I have one, and its okay for most uses.

I don't really like the map mode that much, but since I use it as a back up
that is okay. Also, sunlight readability is limited. I mostly use it like
an ADF or DME as a backup to my 430.

If I had it all to do over again, I would have gone for a 420 or second 430
and damn the costs. Having now flown with two 400 series slaved together, I
really think the ease and SA are worth the money.

Anyone got one of these units?

It seems to combine two very useful things (a VFR moving map GPS and a Com
radio) into one compact unit.
