Just my opinion, but...

The TruTrak will fly an LPV approach, you just can't do it legally right now.  It ...may... have that capability in the future.

I never use VOR tracking, only GPS tracking and the TruTrak will do that with GPSS which is more than I can say for my KFC200.

True, it will not fly an ILS approach, but ...most... runways that have an ILS also have an LPV which it can fly.

And it has altitude capture during climb or descent.  While I agree with you that the emergency modes don't mean much for me, the altitude capture would be very handy.

And, if my attitude indicator quits, the TruTrak doesn't care.  In an emergency I'd be happy to let it fly an LNAV or LPV approach to get me safely on the ground.

Does anyone know of any runways with an ILS that don't also have an LPV?

I was thinking in terms of GFC500 as a replacement (upgrade) to my KFC200.  Maybe the trutrek is as well.

Boeing Field (BFI).  ILS to 14R but the RNAV is only an LNAV.  ILS to 32L and no RNAV.

All the other airports in the Seattle area that have an ILS also have an LPV (PWT, PAE, BLI, TIW, OLM).

Felts Field in Spokane (SFF).  ILS in one direction but no RNAV but an LPV in the other direction but no ILS.

Yes bucket loads of them.  Also know of lots that have adf or vor/dme without any rnav.  

But that’s in Europe right?

Not here in the USA.  I hear Canada and Mexico are nice. And I've been to South America.  Great culture.

It has been a long, sad saga. Seems like it's in production and approved on basic training planes, and BK is in typical "it will be ready next quarter" scamming mode for Mooney approvals . . . . . Far too many details are below.
