Musta, we can't take it with us can we?
If I fit a Rotax 912Is then I need an electronic display for engine parameters. That might as well be a Skyview.
Since I live in Melbourne I encounter controlled airspace from time to time, so there is no point in NOT getting a mode S extended squatter AdSB out transponder.
ADSB IN requires a tiny cheap receiver. I expect Dynon will make the skyview compatible with someone's offerings (zaon and Dual have just released units) or make their own cover 1090mhz.
All I need then is a TSOd GPS.
After that I can spend all my time looking out the window because the Skyview can be configured to give audible alarms.
The cost penalty of a Garmin 430 over a free flight GPS is about 2000. That is offset by the inbuilt VHF and nav receivers.

Like there's a lot of ADSB coverage around Melbourne for lighties.... NOT.
ADSB "SQUATTER"????? Is that someone who just turns up and sits in your plane forever?
It seems you know little about ADSB coverage, use & future in Australia
Spend your money, Julia needs the tax income.

Tbird, do your homework, an ADSB IN receiver is now about $600 and within a year or two they will be giving them away. Anyone with a glass cockpit will be able to display the data.
Furthermore, the FACT that GA aircraft will require an ES capable transponder for A,B,C,and E airspace in 2014 will mean that capital city training aircraft are going to need it.
Given the Fabian political model, I suspect that the TSO'd GPS will be made mandatory at some stage, but again, all our training fleet have one anyway.
Since I fly into/out of Melbourne I assure you that full ADSB will be very nice to have. The last time I was northbound in the VFR corridor, I had a total of Five aircraft coming southbound at me (Two IFR and Three VFR) with cloud at 2000. A kind and somewhat anxious ATC actually spent a few minutes separating all of us.
