Hello Dick,
Information overload? Yup - just about everyone gets it while shopping for an EFIS - there are a lot of choices out there these days. But as Mehrdad says- you need to sit down and write your requirements first - IFR or VFR is the first big one. If you din' write down what you need, how can you decide if there various systems satisfy them?
All of the major manufacturers make units that can be installed in RV's, all of them have basic functionality. and the sky's the limit for add-ons beyond "basic".
This forum has literally thousands of posts on people's experiences. Spend the time to review some, and don't trust anyone that says "this is what you need" if you haven't yet told them what you want to do with it.
Remember - everyone is going to want to defend the choices that THEY made. That doesn't' mean they are the right choices for you.
Paul (three airplanes, three different missions, three different EFIS's....)
