As said before, Garmin shafts the existing customers by promising

Well since the 430 (or even the 530) doesn't compete against avidyne
I don't understand wy it is an issue. The G1000 competes against
Avidyne, but they won't sell that to end users. The MX20/GNS480
competes against avidyne (sort of) but it has WAAS.
