I have ADS-B in/out and love it. (Navworx)  Cost me less than $4k for the complete install including a display system.  Cheaper than any other form of comparable traffic solution if you already have a transponder.  And it included free weather.

I hate flying without it.

Yes, if I do something illegal on it might be easier for them to find me.  Whatever.

If considering an install in a light GA aircraft I encourage the UAT out option so that all us little guys can see each other without ATC.  The stupid idea of dual freq options IMHO is the biggest shortcoming in the roll-out.  It should have been UAT required for all little guys.  Bummer that the rest of the world went with 1090 but that is a product of the fact that GA is pretty weak everywhere but in the US.

Sure, the system and rules are not ready for 2020 prime time yet, but it will all work out somehow.
