If the year is 2023 and I'm looking for used planes I'd choose a Dynon equipped plane over a Aspen/G500/JPI/EI panel any day. Dynon offers (in my opinion) superior utility at a lower upkeep cost. I'm curious if the Dynon-equipped would actually command a higher value vs, for example, an Aspen-JPI equipped plane.

As of right now, I'd say this is quite likely. I'm waiting on the sideline for the Dynon Skyview. Unfortunately I can't wait for an updated (primary) instrumentation so I'm going with an EI upgrade. I'm done doing overhauls to 35 year old gauges now that I'm on the second round of overhauls after 7 years.

In 1991 when I bought my Mooney I set out an upgrade path that correlated to the risk factors that I contended with. My initial work was to get the basic wing leveler working to have enough confidence

Just think what you could do with 15k if you could install non TSO certified products like with experimentals. I really think the FAA does not want us to fly safer or perhaps not at all.

430Ws are great, but I would not spend $8K on a used 15 year old technology when an extra 4k gets you brand new, modern, warranty with nicer screen, more functionality, and easier database updates.
