Figured as much. My 400 (non-A/B) is no longer capturing glideslope, which may be the information source, not the A/P. Either way I'd be dropping money into an avionics ecosystem that can't be leveraged into something with digital stuff like the G5, and can't eliminate the vacuum, which appears to have advantages all its own.
So I suppose if we can't expect Dynon and Garmin to certify any time soon--or ever--I better get myself an S-Tec while the getting is good. That is to say, I'm still quite green in the realm of avionics, and don't know how often or after how long companies like Genesys tend to drop their product lines. If their new stuff makes something like the 55x obsolete, that could be a good reason. There is also, of course, the risk that Genesys could fold for some reason. If the others haven't certified anything for us at such point, then what?
