Default LX 9000 or CNII?

"Different strokes for different folks" (Sly & the Family Stone - Everyday People)

Another biased opinion:
Both are good. Wish I had more time to evaluate the LX9000, which seemed intuitive. Only one flight, and that was nearly four years ago. Hardly valid for software-based instrumentation.
Currently using CN2 and Air-Glide S.
Did have problems with shipping US to Slovenia and back for another computer, but perhaps that was to the Judean People's Front, not the People's Front of Judea. Shipping US to anywhere in Slovenia involves the same logistics.. In my case FedEx would cost much of what the instrument was worth, USPS tracking failed at the Slovenian border.
Perhaps a consideration: The LX uses binary airspace files - so building your own, ie TFR file, is more complicated. Using a text editor you can build an open air file in a few minutes or alternately download from Lynn Alley.
Whichever device you personally choose, I recommend using a stick-mounted controller and mounting the display in the panel. Take into account the new height of the stick with remote when you lay the panel out. Shortening the stick ~30mm might help.
