Which XM gear do you use?

After much research, I settled on the Garmin 496.

I don't like it much -- it's painfully slow to slew, has a tiny, muddy
screen, is oriented incorrectly (landscape rather than portrait) -- but
it was the best weather choice two years ago.

Now, I'd look at this: http://www.aviationsafety.com/fl_190.htm

The big negative of that one is that the XM Wx requires a separate box
and the associated wires. Oh, and no XM radio.
