Default LX Nav: Clear Nav, or LX Navigation, which one

My ASH30Mi came over from Germany with LX8000s. Previously, I had flown with CN. After a summer of trying to explain to copilots how to use the LX in flight, I'm switching back to CN. If you want elegant, intuitive, easy-to-explain in flight, go CN. If you want 2000 different permutations about the world around you, LX is the way to go. Please take along a copilot to look at the real world while you figure out how to use all the buttons and knobs required to run the LX.

Tom, I found flying with Altair displays (XC Soar) similarly frustrating.
Too many cooks spoiled the broth.
LX5000/7000 (haven't flown with 8000) seemed awkward, but got used to things after a while. The LX9000 is much more intuitive. Like the CN, it becomes simple to use during the first flight.
Believe some LX are made by the Judean Peoples Front, the others by the Peoples Front of Judea? (ref below)
Happy enough with the CN to have it made into a CN2.
Besides CN, which of these dispays will load an Open Air airspace file? I find it useful when there are TFRs...
