I agree with airfreddy. I did all my primary training with steam gages, (also equipped w/ G430's though) and am currently instructing using older airplanes with no fancy bells and whistles. For primary training I definitely recommend the steam. I hear all the time at my FBO (and adjacent university) that its much easier to transition from steam to glass, then to learn everything on glass then go to steam. You should learn the basics, and focus outside the airplane before you get all the colorful toys. I think the new G1000, and the SVT (synthetic vision) stuff coming out it great technology, but airplanes last a long time, the old ones have been and will be here for a long time, so learn the basics before you learn to let the airplane do all the flying. Not to mention all the money you'll save! Hope this helps.
