Information is scanty, though. How many of the WxWorx features will be
displayed on the 396? I know it will do NEXRAD, but what about, METARs,
TAFs, lightning, etc?

Here is a relevant quote to Sportys product page (and a marketing email
from them I received today):

"An integrated GXM 30 smart antenna makes the satellite connection,
enabling the unit to receive and process XM Weather and flight safety
products. In addition to offering the outstanding features and operation of
the GPSMAP 296, the GPSMAP 396 allows pilots to display NEXRAD radar,
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft and many
other useful weather products through a subscription with XM Radio data
services. "
