I agree, glass/jet time is overrated. After several hundred hours of turboprop PIC under your belt, the transition to a jet is a piece of cake. As for the bells and whistles, after a half hour or so of punch and pray, one gets enough of the basics to work it for a flight. It is just as easy, if not a little easier, to learn Collins AMS 5000 as a Trimble 2000.
