Hi MIke - thanks for the note....yes I would be interested in the KFC225....I have (had...) started going down the Garmin 2 x G5 and GFC500 path too due to the "experts" saying I as wasting my time on the KFC...but I do not like glass and I still think the KFC is a good unit....none the less...what is you initial impression on the GFC500 and (if you don;t mind me asking...) the cost??
