( MSN 6300+).
We ordered some new airplanes that have a completely different wx radar. (Not sure if I'd consider it next gen)

The control panel is completely different. You'd know if you had it installed. It works quite well, and one of the nice features is that ND warning.

I couldn't find a picture handy, but this youtube video has a shot of a one of the model variants at 37:48
