I am thinking of upgrading my D100/D120 setup. I have been considering the GRT 8.4 HXr or the Skyview 7" (using upgrade promo). I have the standard RV-6 panel and I cannot fit the 10" models without significant panel surgery that I don't want to do at this time.
My plan is to have the PFD, map and Eng pages open most times. I really like the GRT HXr, as it seems to make the best use the real estate. However, a migration to Dynon would be much easier and re-use my A/P servos. The Dynon can only support a 40/20/40 screen configuration. Will this be adequate in the 7" model. Will the PFD in 40% of the screen be adequate for me? Is anyone using one this way? I am fine with my d100 at 7", but it seems the skyview has more detail and can't be sure what to expect.
My cutout for the second screen is way over by the co-pilot and is too far away to be usefull, especially in IFR. I am early in my Instr training and maybe this issue will go away in time.
I suppose that I could turn off the map and use my foreflight. However, part of the reason for the upgrade is to get traffic and weather in my center view.
Thanks for your input.
