Airbox Clarity

I'm contemplating upgrading my current pathetic GPS set-up to one of these.

It seems to me to come down to the Garmin Aera 500, an iPad or the Airbox. For a variety of reasons I think the Airbox would suit me best. Basically there's a space problem for the iPad, while the Garmin has the expense of the updates plus using a pure Garmin (i.e. a non-WAC) map. Incidentally, there's an excellent article in the latest "Rag & Tube" (the Antique Aircraft Association's magazine) which arrived at much the same conclusion.

While I've seen, admired and fondled both the Aera 500 and an iPad, my exposure to the Airbox is limited to their website and a couple of You Tube sequences.

Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.
