Fairly pricey, although it does do a lot. Also consider the products from Tasman Instruments. Aussie product!
The vario is nice and much cheaper. Does not require an extra hole for the control knob. The Air Data engine takes in pitot, static and outside air temp as well as vario and flarm and outputs parameters including true airspeed to the PDA. Also has an efficient voltage converter that outputs 5V to the PDA without draining the main battery. I think this package does almost all that the Vaulter does . They also can supply a sunlight readable 5 inch PDA.
