I  suspected that we would see something like this last month wen the price came  down on the 396.  Of course I just bought a 396 about 3 months ago.   Arrrgh!

I think you were asking Larry -not me- but my plan is to wait awhile. I have a 196 which I like a lot, but I always want the latest and greatest. Aviation Consumer says they are going to do a complete review of the 496 in their September issue. I also see that there are two levels of XM weather subscriptions now, one at $30 a month and another at $50. The $50 one seems to be for higher altitudes than we would typically be interested in.   

   

See: http://www.xmradio.com/weather/aviation.html  

   

Someone at one of the avionics booths at the Arlington fly-in told me that my wiring for the 196 won’t work for the 396 or likely the 496. He said it was a different plug entirely.

I recently upgraded from the 196 to 396.  The wiring is different, but not

a big deal.  I'm real happy with the change -- even with the recent news

of the 496.  We sorta knew something was on the horizon when the price

dropped.  The 196 is now used in the back seat.

The 196 and 296 have slightly different plugs. The 296 has 2 serial ports and the 196 only 1. I haven’t looked at a 3 or 496.
