I would just comment though, that the panel is only half the problem...or less, when it comes to aircraft wiring.   Power distribution and the implementation thereof is something you want to think through carefully.   Those are the big wires in the airplane and if you want to change something later, these are the ones that will be time consuming to fix.   ...so don't change something later.

Along these lines, I did learn that Aerotronics will build you wire harnesses and ring them out for you.  I would definitely go with that.

I've worked on several projects that used Aerotronics for the panels, most recently, the all-glass one we've put into DIemech's RV10 which will be our demonstrator for the new PBS TP100 turboprop engine.  Their workmanship is top notch, as is the quality of their finished product, including the documentation.  Their support during and after the installation is first class, and everyone at their facility treats you like an old friend whenever you call.  Their prices are competitive but the value of their total package is priceless.  If I could say more good things about them I would.  And BTW, if you're serious about glass, don't fail to check out Advanced Flight Systems... that's what we went with for the RV as the engine operates on a CAN bus and the folks at AFS were the only ones willing to tackle that implementation.  Their products, documentation and support are also first class,  And no, I don't have any financial interest in either organization, I'm just happy to share my feelings about people from whom I've received exemplary service.  I hope this helps.  <marv>
