I had a Blue Mountain and it went TU on a long cross country! I wished very much to have had a separate engine/fuel monitoring system to get the bird home in VFR and with the backup flight instrumentation. Wrapping an autopilot, engine monitoring flight instruments and maps all into one box is a recipe for trouble. We even have a separate CHT/EGT monitor in our ES. We went with the HX, and it uses their separate 6000 engine/fuel system, displayed either on the HX screen or the separate monitor that comes with the system. Also, and I fly hard IFR from time to time, one needs a backup for flight instruments. My humble opinion. I would be happy to elaborate as to how I got the bird home with a dead Blue Mountain flight/engine system - if anyone wants to hear it. It depended on the way we designed the panel to spread out the risks. We fixed one of the problems with separate GRT engine and flight instrumentation systems.
