I'm having a really hard time deciding on which one to pick but I am going to change out my Blue Mountain after the New Year and it will be either the G3X or the HDX. Although my BMA still works great, I would like to get one step closer to IFR and also become 2020 compliant.
I had pretty much made up my mind that I was going to buy Garmin G3X and go the Garmin route but then Dynon came out with this beautiful HDX EFIS and now has the latest EFIS on the market. My fear is that I'm going to pick G3X and they will release a new EFIS in 6 months to keep up with their competitor. I know technology changes quickly and the EFIS we pick quickly becomes "old" when new ones are release but logic tells me to buy the newest technology on the market so that I can stretch my dollar for as long as possible. However, I've always flown behind Garmin every since GPS came out and believe my learning curve to be much less than Dynon.
What I'm hoping for is for someone here, in the Southeast will take me up in their plane and show me their Garmin G3X and someone else will show me their Dynon HDX. Hoping to see a few of the features in particular, like the Autopilot, EIS, moving map, and maybe even see you shoot an approach with the autopilot.
My hope is that experiencing both will help me make the right decision for me.
I live in Northwest Ga and will happily fly to the surrounding states if someone if willing to show me their panel. Just to be clear, I'm specifically looking for the HDX panel and not Skyview or Skyview touch and also the G3X Touch and not the regular G3X.
Thank you all in advance.
