I installed 6 analog engine gauges (coolant temp & pressure, oil temp & pressure, MAP and Fuel pressure) alongside the EM2 which allow me to do a scan and also confirm calibration / sensor failure.  The promised autotune and data-logging features of the EM2 will be worth the cost on their own

Yep, those were my feelings in 97 when I started building my RV6A. I installed the Grand Rapids EIS  and a few back up analog engine gages. After 450 hours in it, would never go back to a non engine monitor that constantly watches the engine and immediately flashes a red light when one goes out of range.
 
Later in the 6A, removed some flight steam gauges and added a RM encoder. After a 100 hours of flying with this, put a Dynon with all the flight gauges in it. Did back it up with one analog AS in case I was putting it down without any voltage, at least would not have to wonder what my AS was while the addrenlun (sp) was pumping.
 
My understanding is that you only should ground one end of shielded wire. Have heard this from several experienced folks that I trust.
 
Bernie, looking forward to seeing everyone at Charlie's
