Also I found that I can use the De-Ice 
Alternator as a back-up, so I can forgo the 20 Amp back-up.
 
Only if your don't need it for de-ice.
Another thing to think about on your power grid is exactly what
is going to be happening at the time of electrical failure.   I started with
a manual fail-over system and ended up with diode fed critical
systems (a/p, engine monitor, minimun lights) for smooth fail-over.
 
It doesn't take long to manually change your power source but it
can take a while to get everything rebooted.
 
I'm not sure you can make that work with the de-ice alternator.
