HELP!

I need to finish my option list.I have
the old Contract option list (SR20 “B”)

that offers the STEC 30 2 axis.What
advantages are there to the STEC 50X

that is offered on the newer “B” option

contracts and will Cirrus let me sub

the 50X (or 55)for more money? And

of course would it be worth it? I know

that there was a disscusion about this

ages ago but I cant seem to find it in
archives.

     THANKS dan

I heard the X modles are no longer sold an FAA issue so i would call cirrus or S-TEC for the direct story.

I own an S-Tec System 30 on my Warrior, and love it. For my SR20 (April Delivery) I ordered the 55 because it has two key differences: 1) Ability to intercept a localizer; 2) Ability to track a glideslope. I think that its worth the money for the upgrade, but take it from someone with experience in the System 30, you won’t feel cheated for a minute with the 30!
