Thanks for the tip on Sat weather. I've looked at the options and
decided on XM weather using the GNS 530 display and the Garmin GDL-69
receiver. I'll also do the Ryan 9900B for traffic (also displayed on
the 530). The 9900B gives a litle better coverage than the Mode S
transponder, although it is still a compromise to the "interrogating"
9900BX. The additional $10-12K for the BX or Skywatch didn't seem
justified in my east coast flying.

I have a 9900BX, and though it is expensive, I like its more accurate
measurement of range, as opposed to the 'Indicated Range' of the 9900B.
My 9900BX is the third TCAD I've owned, and it's the best one yet.
Whichever you choose, the 9900B or the -BX, I'm sure you'll wonder
how you ever got along without it earlier.
