I think the factory in Canada is enough cheaper that maybe you should cross the pond for it.

I encourage all fellow DA42 owners to express a desire to have the Garmin GFC500 certified for it so that we can replace those wonky KAP140s. Here is where you can do that: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/autopilotinterest

Re: Replacing/upgrading KAP140 in DA42
In addition to what I wrote in the other thread on similar topic (GFC500 for SEP and GFC600 for MEP and HP SEP), Garmin stated on several occasions that GFC500 and GFC600 will not be certified for G1000 aircrafts. For G1000 they already have GFC700 and I don't think they have any intention to change this.
