Don't waste your money on a DME. Too much maintenance. Purchase a good used IFR GPS. I beg to differ. My Cheap ******* IFR Upgrade circa-1980 KNS80 VOR/GS/DME unit has required ZERO maintenance in the 2 1/2 years since I had it installed. If it had been an IFR GPS, I would be poorer by about $1200 (i.e. $400/yr) for GPS database updates. So my KNS80 has essentially paid for itself ;-) The KNS80's are great units, and can be had for about half the cost the cheapest used IFR GPS units. Cheaper to install too.
