I'd LOVE to have a 496, or whatever the latest model with the XM weather,
etc. is. But that's 10X my budget :-(
Actually what I like best about the 60C is using it in the air. I've
manually input all the little airports for a couple of hundred miles
around - no Jeppesen database for that model. I don't really use it for
navigation very often (sectionals are fine), but having accurate groundspeed
info is great. And I get lots of kidding from the guys at fly-ins if I have
a GPS suction-cupped to the Stearman's windshield. Just not in keeping with
that 1940 ambience.
