The truth is, G1000 sold in MI stores (lots of them) and the G70 sold in CK stores (hardly any of them)... You don't really need to look any further than that enormous blunder to see why the G70 failed.

One of the main comments at the start of the G70's launch was 'where can I see one?'. Imagine that happening to T3, PA2Xpro, any major arranger... you are likely to see the same failure of sales.

Add to that the unfinished nature of the OS and style voicing, which was remedied by OS2, but the damage had been done. I can't think of a single person that was happy enough with the G1000's weight that found the G70's slight weight increase the deciding factor in not getting one. Cost played a large part in it (G70 was a BIG step up in price), and unavailability, IMO.

How much does a CVP weigh?
