Opinions wanted:
Owned a little over a year & flys great, IFR certified, paid between $25-35K for it when I bought it. I fly about 100 hours a year traveling and the airplane in future will be used for my IFR training. maybe commercial and CFI, also for daughters training.

Currently, has mid time engine and 9700 hours, with much old stuff in it. Narco 122s, GMA 340, SL40, Ky197a, adf, Narco transponder, Century II, all steam gauges. I would like to install:

GPS, preferably WAAS.
replace ky197a.
ADSB out
Tru trak or similiar autopilot
Garmin g5 or aspen e5

Question what is to rich for this airplane and yes I know I will not get my money back for any avionics when I sell. However I feel that adding high end avionics like gtn650 or IFD440 and such would be to rich for the airplane.

Any advice appreciated
