In-cockpit weather is the greatest advance in situational awareness since GPS. With hardware continually coming down in price, there are virtually no excuses not to equip. And if you're still looking for a solution, an iPad with a Sagetech Clarity ADS-B receiver and your software application of choice is a good option. Clarity is compatible with about a dozen different applications. If your favorite is on the list, simply turn on the unit, throw it on the glareshield, connect the iPad to it via Wifi, and open the application. Once at altitude you'll be rewarded with subscription-free weather and limited traffic information (other airplanes with ADS-B Out). The little things matter with these devices, and with the Clarity a nice feature is the rubber sleeve it comes in. The little brick doesn't budge an inch once inside.
