Full Avionics Suite

With this new Vantage screen it would be really nice (although getting anything through FAA is a huge roadblock, as opposed to the experimental market) to outfit a complete package as the big “G” and Dynon (for experimental)have done. 

PFD/MFD, digital autopilot (including servos) and our IFD units would make a nice package. I’ll keep my engine monitoring separate from my Nav package although it looks cool on the MFD.  

I’m getting long in the tooth and so is my 400B.

(Friends don’t let friends fly plastic airplanes) ;-) 

I agree completely.

For the entry Piper or Cessna, if one wants to avoid G* then there is really only a combination of Avidyne & Dynon to get a full suite. Given the existing competition between Garmin and Dynon in that market, the cost vs market share potential doesn't seem to add up for an Avidyne entry at this stage of the game. 

Of course for the Bonanza & higher performance Cessna/Piper models the equation is a bit more murky. The Stec 3100 comes into play and there hasn't been any DFC development for a decade.... a shame because it was ahead of its time. Avidyne could easily have pre-empted the 3100 market share but probably had to make some hard decisions on where to put the development $$$.
