The 430 is leaps and bounds above the KLN series, ease of use being only one factor.
I agree here, I have used the KLN 94 and the KLN 89B and the Garmin 430/530. The Garmin product line is a much better product line, it helps reduce work load, by not having to push buttons on the GPS during the approach, is logically programed, and if you have used one it is much like the other models. The King equipment seems to have a different programmer or programing style for each model, and does not seem to carry anything over to the next model. Although I believe that the KLN 94 is learning from Garmin and may catch up soon to the 430, and make a better product with the next model.
