We are flying to PHX tonight and don't have any extra micro cards to load some of the new maps into my GPS.  I've heard they are bigger files.  With the old Topo I have Utah, Az, NM and CO all on one chip.  I suspect that that won't be true with this new one.  Not sure I need ready access to all those states at one time unless I'm at the 4 Corners area...
