I am presently looking to replace my RNAV/DME with a new GPS. By the time you buy and install a used DME system you will be getting pretty close to a used IFR GPS. What he said, squared. About the only thing I can think of that you can do with a DME that you can't with a terminal-certified GPS is use it to fly an ILS-DME (because you don't have the location of the ILS DME ground station in the GPS database). FWIW, the KLN94 has the I-xxx stations in the database for doing DME to ILS stations.
