Sigh. OK here goes:

After discussing with my finance minister (wife) I'll go for the 6EXAS - noone seems to be able to say anything bad about the radio.
Tower was great - order cancelled, here I go reordering.

ANy of you have opinions on practicing taxiing (esp when the plane i soming at me) -- or should I just spend the time on a sim?

Jeez. I am all tickled. Can't wait. Say's it'll be here in a week!
