I need a first hand, unbiased comparison of how the 696 and the 796 compare. (good luck I know).
Specifically I am most interested in how well the screen works in the bubble canopy cockpit of an RV in bright light.
I was all set to purchase a 796 until I saw a video on youtube from Avweb that showed a 796 beside an Ipad. This video caused me much pause! It looked to me like on that video, that the 796 was no brighter than the Ipad although the 796 did not appear to have as much reflection issues.
Bottom line is if I plop down the $ for a 796, am I going to hate it due to the fact that in my opinion the Ipad screen is basically useless in the RV cockpit?
