I'll see your KNS 80 and raise you one of these beauties.
Try using this Delco Carousel INS as your primary means of navigation. It holds a whopping 9, count 'em 9 waypoints. And you have to fat-finger the lat / longs in your self. It's great when ATC gives us direct to a point that wasn't on our flight plan.

I just got done training a guy that hasn't flown in 12yrs, and his last plane(C210P) had the KNS80.(I am very familiar and can use one very easily). So he buys a Mirage with dual G530W's, and he couldn't believe all I had to do was a direct-to XXX and not tune any frequencies etc.... I was more shocked that he hadn't really read up on this stuff, but his flying skills are good, just not with the new radios!
