Garmin Aera 560/696 or Voyager Skypad2

Need any input about the Aera 560/ Garmin 696 vs. the Seattle Avionics Skypad2. I have researching these quite a bit and the Skypad2 looks packed with goodies. The other item is the differential in cost of updates that Garmin has always been very high. Easily $1,000 vs $299 per year. My research would tend me toward the Skypad2 because of its versatility and quantity of accessable information. What I don't like is the fact you have to have a remote mounted weather workx box with its own power supply and a bluetooth GPS on the glareshield you have to remember to charge every 12 hours. Anyway, does anyone have real world experience with the Skypad or Skypad2. Any coments appreciated.
