Full disclosure, I'm a dealer. But I'm a dealer for a lot of cool tools...
Yep, it's pretty neat. I played with one in February and was very sceptical until then. I didn't think the touchscreen would work with gloves, I didn't think it would be bright enough outdoors and I didn't think the dash would have enough features to obviate connecting it to my computer for setup and to change parameters. Most of all, I was concerned about how hard it might be to justify the upgrade price.
I was wrong on all counts. It's good enough so I'm stocking them. Customer feedback has been exemplary, they've issued several firmware updates to enhance accuracy and address bugs. I plan to use mine this week at VIR.
Biggest benefits are that everything can be entered directly via the touch screen, it's got 310+ start/finish GPS coordinates already in it and the lighting and resolution of the display is great, even for these old eyes in an open car.
I think it's worth it.

I bought one already and I plan to install it this winter - so far it looks like a huge step up and really cool based on the playing around I've done so far!

I sold my G2X and bought one, didnt get a chance to use it last year. I upgraded mainly as everyone in my series uses traqmates and I disliked the previous display - now its seems much more useful and handy to have right in front of the steering wheel. Looking forward to trying it out next year.

Dont think picture-in-picture, but there are plans. I think multi GP control is possible, though. Have to wait and see!
