Default Colibri w. Flarm? (Europe)

Hello everyone,

I'm thinking about replacing my current Colibri logger with the new version
with built-in Flarm. It seems to be an easy way to add Flarm without the
hassle of rewiring and adding yet another box to the panel.
Any experiences and pros/cons out there? Reliability? Compatibility with the
"original" Flarm? Ease of configuration and updating? Power consumption?

Thanks in advance,
Lars Peder

Of course it is nice to have all the different functionalities in one
box, but what happens if the part of the equipment that provides one
functionality is defective and needs servicing.

For the Flarm units I typically get the unit back within one week, I
don't know how long it takes for the other unit.

I will fly without FR functionality, but missing Flarm functionality is
nowadays a no-go condition for myself.

As far as I know an external display is required with all integrated
solutions at the moment, so you will need additional unit on the panel
and some wiring with the integrated unit too.
