Doug,

My .02 fwiw. If you intend to fly only VFR then install a VFR panel. If you n=
eed/ want an IFR panel then install it. An IFR panel can do IFR and VFR but a=
 VFR panel cannot do IFR. "Occasional IFR" is like a little pregnant. There i=
s no "occasional IFR" or "light IFR" or "hard IFR " when it comes to instrum=
ents or proficiency.=20

Listen to Brent Reagan regarding back up instruments and EFIS. My backup Gar=
min 430 and iron gyro saved my butt when the EFIS tanked in IMC.=20

There is no substitute for good training, good equipment and a well thought o=
ut panel when things go to crap over the Rockies. You will wish you had spen=
t the money, not if but, when it happens.

Best regards,

Jeff
