GarminPilot or ForeFlight?

Anyone have any experience with both. I'm a FF user but have been considering GarminPilot since I purchased my 337. ForeFlight has served my needs well in the patrol plane, doing a great job of keeping the complex patrol at my fingertips (image).

What I did like during the GP trial period, was the ability to use my Samsung (Android) phone with the app, which is not available with FF. I'm adding a Garmin Flight Stream 210 to end the knob turning with the 430s, and with GP, both my phone and iPad could communicate with the 430s through the FS210. As a note, the Android-based phone is needed; it is feeding a lot of data into google based applications while on patrol.

A majority of my 337 flying will be on an IFR flight plan, so the need to manipulate the 430s seems is a primary consideration. I did not use GP on my patrol during the trial period — an oversight on my part.

What are you guys and gals using? Any thoughts?
