I am still a few months from making the purchase, but I wanted to get a few second opinions and alternative points of view:
We are looking at using Dynon avionics, either a pair of screens EFIS D100 and EMS D120 + remote GPS; or a single Skyview 10" system. Our budget will not spring for some of each.
I like the cheaper remote GPS option, because you get all the same basic flight data in a technology path with isn't locked into your panel. Also the EFIS will interface with most any GPS. Also you get dedicated screens, big instruments for easy, quick, and steady situational awareness with few distractions, which I like.
The Skyview is a cleaner installation on the panel front and lighter weigh, for comparable cost. You do get an awful lot of information packed into one screen, and I am not sure about the size of the engine instruments, and the clutter / information overload...
And what if, in 5 years or whatever, when Dynon releases the "SkyviewII" or "Skyscape" etc. you eventually get forced to trade in and up. Airspace maps change and need updates, your engine instruments and AH etc. not so much.
Thoughts / comments / questions welcome
