Tom,
You will like the D10 EMS, it really is a good unit.
I built my panel with an Affordable Panels panel, which pushed the radio stack to the right of center. Because of this, I put the D10 EMS centered in front of the passenger and the D100 EFIS center in front of the pilot.
Since they are bussed together, I typically fly with 1/3 of the EFIS displaying the EMS data. When I have a pilot/passenger, I can display the EFIS info on the D10 EMS and they don't have to look across the panel.
If I were building today, I would set it up exactly the same.
Here's a picture of my panel prior to installing the Dynon AP74 where the slip ball is and installing the
EICommander under the D10 EMS.
