Default Cambridge 302 & PDA -- Value of adding Cambridge 303?

I'm planning a panel for a new Ventus, planning to get a Cambridge 302

Cost, very little.
Value, enormous.
It's always a good idea to have a direct link to the 302 built into
the panel by installing a 303 (or LX7000CAI?)
Biggest downside to the 303 is that the turn points are organized
numerically so you need to declare a task like:
1, 636, 641, 1, which involves a lot of scrolling. You DO know the
task is in the 302 when you declare it, though. And a 303 is far less
likely to crash or need the software reloading and unlocking.
