At least this is the way it was explained to me... |
The traffic depends on the system. You can get active traffic for both. I think you just flew a G1000 with TIS and an Avidyne with active traffic.
I think the G1000 with the GFC 700 is the better overall package. The Avidyne seems dated now and just doesn't have the integration of the G1000.

PS: I have significant experience with both.
