Anyone had any experience with the Zeus? Please share your opinions on its quality and performance.

The LX9000 has the enormous advantage that the software has been around for long enough to have been fairly well de-bugged (I have one and love it). Early adopters of the LX8000 had problems. If I was looking for something new now, the Zeus would have to offer significant feature benefits for me to consider being an early adopter.

That pic of an LX9000 with synthetic vision (3D) view of the hills has been on the LX Nav website for quite a time, but with no mention of the feature in the text.

Personally, I would not go for an LX8080. One of the biggest benefits of the 9000 is the large display - if I could not have a large display on the flight computer I would have a good vario (LX Nav V80/Butterfly/Clearnav) and an Oudie.
