I have been flying with a 2000c for about 8 months now. Very nice unit. I spent 2 1/2 hours this morning picking my way through the mountains and thunderstorms home to Los Alamos from Copperstate. Very easy to program on the fly, very easy to read, very easy to use. The terrain awareness upgrade is $95. Once I started using it, I can't imaging going back to a grayscale unit. Jeff Scott N1213W
