VM1000C
We bought the VM1000C from Vision Microsytems ( http://www.visionmicrosystems.com/ )
Quite complete at a reasonable price. The first results look promising.

GRT ECAM.
If you are going with Glass, using GRT's gives you redundancy, as all displays can be used as either PFD, Map, or Engine Monitor. If set up correctly it faciltates flying from either seat. Good for those who can't fly with their left hand.
By the way, Engine Monitor is misnomer for most of the displays now, as they can provide a lot more than just Engine Information. Fuel level, Trim position, Flap Position, or any Aux you can to wire up.
Boeing EICAS (Engine Indicating AND Crew Alerting System) or Airbus ECAM (Electonic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring) are more appropriate.

If you are going with Glass, using Dynon's gives you redundancy, as all displays can be used as either PFD, HSI, or Engine Monitor. If set up correctly it facilitates flying from either seat. Good for those who can't fly with their left hand.
Sorry, I had to copy that...
I am waiting for the FAA to do my inspection but have done a number of ground runs with my Dynon EMS D10 way over on the right side and that thing is just outstanding!
As soon as the engine is up and running I turn on my EFIS and display the engine info on 1/3 the screen.
Check this picture out to get an idea:
There are more pictures showing displays on the panel page of my web site.
Good luck making your selection. All the units listed are very good and you won't go wrong with any of them. What helped me was creating a spreadsheet listing all the various functions, price, etc. and then picking the one unit that best fit my needs. That helped take some of the emotion out of it.

I apologize if I'm wrong, but I'm also rather curious about why your profile information changed from Brent Impecoven of Sioux Falls, SD, to Bob Jones of Iowa since you first posted a couple of weeks ago.

The products you are asking about cover the full spectrum of features, options and costs. Your questions are really open-ended and unclear about what you're looking for. There is a ton of information online in this forum and elsewhere. You will find answers to all of your questions with a little digging.Koven said:
