I love Jepp plates, and I agree with you on the NOS enroutes. I have to stick with NOS plates for now, though. Jepp are nice, but NOS are only $4.95......

If you crunch the math, the Jepp charts aren't that much more expensive than the NACO charts. When using the NACO charts - if flying in more than just an extremely local area - you'll need to buy separate IAPs and low enroute charts. Often, to cover more than one or two states, you'll need to buy 2 or 3 low enroutes (at $4.50 each), and 2 or 3 IAPs (again, at $4.50 each). When you add them up, you can get up there in the dollars. For my area, I buy the Jepp Express pack, for about $28.00. In this, I get the IAPs and low enroutes for TN, AL, MS and KY. In addition, I get an easier chart to read, better airport charts and outstanding arrival and departure procedures. So, for me, it's well worth the money.
By the way, they haven't been called NOS charts for like two years - they're NACO charts.....get with the program guys!!!!
