Somewhere in your decision matrix you need to consider if you're going to take advantage of the ads b input and the weather & traffic info it provides. If so, you have to be careful to pick a solution compatible with the software you use.
I use Foreflight with a Stratus 2 receiver. For me, the Navworx solution wouldn't be a good choice because it's not supported by Foreflight. I'm considering purchasing the Appareo ESG transponder since it will work with Foreflight/Stratus, my existing AK-350 altitude encoder and includes the WAAS GPS source that I don't currently have. It will replace my GTX-327 transponder which I believe will still have decent resale value.
Neither the Navworx ADS600-EXP or Appareo ESG are shipping yet, so it would be good to see them roll out and get some time on them.
