Subject: Choosing an audio panel

I'm considering replacing the audio panel when I install the IFD-540. The current KMA-26 panel isn't compatible with any other so either we rewire it as part of the GPS upgrade or it stays for a long time.
The obvious contenders are the PS Audio PMA8000BT, the Garmin GMA-350, or the Avidyne AMX240.
About the only things I can find about the AMX240 come from looking at the pictures. It looks like the lettering on the buttons is cut into them so it won't rub off (unlike the KMA-26) and that it doesn't have a DME button, which is good because we won't have a DME after the upgrade.
Are there more reasons to pick one over the other (besides price)?
