Ok, no laughing now...

I am planning an all electric glass panel. The thought occurred to me as I was playing with ePanel Builder last night that I probably don't need a vacuum gauge but I wasn't sure if there are other reasons to have one if you don't have any vacuum instruments. Is there any reason to have a vacuum gauge in this scenario?

Thanks.

If your all electric, there should be no reason to have a vac pump on your motor, thus no reason for a suction gauge.

I'd ditch the vacuum gauge & pump and install a standby alternator in its place.

We've considered giving away little plugs for where the vacuum gauges used to go that say:
