The weather display is more detailed than what you get on the GNS430 at
half the cost.

Has Garmin delivered the XM on the 430 yet? The ad on the back cover of
AOPAPilot that just arrived said soon. The MX20 has it.

I haven't actually seen GNS430 weather - just basing my statement on
available pixel count.

Not yet. Garmin's materials explain the GDL69 display option, when
released for the GNS430/530 will have a limited display set until the
WAAS upgrades are implemented on those boxes.

Then again, I have been waiting for the WAAS upgrade on my 530 for over
a year past Garmin's original date of availability...

I went with NavAirWx. Experience with activation issues with the WxWorx
box is the shutdown routine. XM is supposed to be sending an automatic
firmware update for the boxes in the near future. For now, NavAir users
have had very good luck by being patient and using the software file
exit routine.

See you at OSH, Ron...
