Tim: Congrats on that decision, ....I was really tempted to do this myself. My Admiral convinced me to go for our "primary" suite instead of the planned "back-up" suite now. After learning from several vendors and even speculation from some Garmin people that the 5200 series is probably going to stop production in the next year, our hope was that if they do the same kind of close-out sale on the 5200's, we'd probably go for one of those as our back-up instead of the planned 740S. Who know what's going to take hold next. I just hope that these plotters don't become defunct in two years, and that the plug-and-play features allow us to stay current for a while.
