 Mike,
 
 I agree with just about everything you've said here.  I will comment that
 the Sandel EHSI, which I have in my 360 panel, is HUGE with respect to
 situational awareness.  It depicts a map on the HSI - which does more for me
 for situational awareness than my Garmin 430's.

  I have an all electric ES with round gages for now.  Two years ago when I
 was finalizing my panel, the choices were less proven and more expensive.
 Kirk was the guy who recommended going with steam gages if I couldn't afford
 the Chelton.  But two years is a long time!
