Then it gets slapped together in the end.

I went full avidyne, because of the cleaner human I/O

====
AXP 240 audio panel - all the bells and whistles anyone could want

550 large screen GPS nav com w AHARS
no need for 2nd MFD!)

440
small screen for backup, additional functionality
almost went to 540 large screen, but left room instead for something else down there

Avidyne 605 active traffic
pings and tracks mode C targets w/o dependent on ADS

SkyTrax 200
integrates traffic from ads B and active traffic into coherent presentation

AXP 340 transponder
mode S ES ADSB

KI 209A ILS/CDI
I understood the pure LED (vs arms) costs a lot more and jumps, vs smooth movement

Shadin
fuel totalizer feeding the whole thing

WX 950 Stormscope
heading stabilized display shows me JUST real-time lightning

GDL69 XM weather in cockpit
Not the A, I don't need it for music.
Audio panel bluetooths whatever is on my wife's iphone

For my next upgrade I am working with my FSDO for an FAA approved onboard Nespresso coffee machine.
