Insight G4 vs JPI 790 - pros and cons?

[n86121]

Hmmm. That would be nice, but I have a slaved stormscope wx 950 there.

SEPARATE STORMSCOPE
Its really nice to have real time t-storm tracking, vs 'dated' adsB
ADS blobology is good enough to widely-avoid t storms,
but I've had enough times where the T scope made a big difference.

Mine also gets real time heading from the autopilot AI circuit (which is always powered).
So strikes out to 200m always show relative to aircraft heading.

Personally, I find the separate real-time gyro-slaved 200mile T storm display ideal.
If it shows nothing, there is nothing.
If it shows something, it is real time,
not just tiny little strikes in an already cluttered map.

SEPARATE TRAFFIC
Similarly, I have the ATX separate display of TAS-fed active traffic.
While TAS and ADSB traffic are all integrated in the Avidyne orgasmic suite 550 map,
Like the stormscope, if nothing is shown on that display, then nothing there
(with any type of transponder, even basic mode C)

The traffic embedded into 550 map is okay, but not as clear (or attention-getting).
I'd say the biggest problem with everything-maps is too much-overlayed clutter.

BUT...
ADS B weather and traffic DO provide pretty good 'blobology.'
"Just say no"

If I had just those, would that be enough?

Hard to give up real-time separate displays though...
