Dan - you do know that you don't need a TackTick wind instrument to integrate everything if you added the T122 NMEA interface. Any wind instrument that talks over NMEA 0183 can integrate with what you have. The Simrad IS20 wind instrument has a NMEA 0183 interface according to the manuals on their site. I still think you are better off keeping what you have and adding the T122 NMEA interface. You could also add the IS20 Graphic display as it has NMEA 0183 and can act as a repeater. If you were going with a graphic display, you should check out the Garmin GMI 10 - a very nice small programmable color display that talks NMEA 0183.

Just remember to factor in the time to redo what you've already done if you decide to take it out and replace it. That's not trivial, particularly since you and your boat are not co-located!
