IFR panel - need versus nice to have

Question for IFR pilots….I am a VFR pilot and I built a RV-14A with a well equipped VFR Dynon panel (Dual PFDs, dual GPS (one WAAS compliant) and Dynon autopilot). I also included a harness for pitot heat but did not install a heated unit. In light of the newly announced Dynon GPS Navigator it got me thinking about down the road when I sell this airplane it may increase the value to have a basic IFR panel. Will adding the new Dynon Navigator be enough for basis (and safe) IFR or do I need to also include an old fashion Nav unit and antenna, back-up ADAHR, heated pitot and whatever else I am forgetting.
