So I've flown the G1000NXi a few times. The earlier flights were VFR so I didn't see much point to the Vertical Situation Display. But then I flew an IFR approach and came away pretty impressed.

Is the G1000NXi the only piece of Garmin gear that has a VSD? I'd love to see such a feature in retrofit avionics.

It (or something similar) is on Garmin Pilot’s new Smart Charts feature.
 
G5000 has a vertical profile. Its pretty good but I've seen far superior implementation in aircraft that fly via Path and not pitch mode. Im surprised how many people I've flown with don't know the profile view is available and how helpful it is.
