After exercising the "search" function here and not coming up with the info I'm hoping to find I thought it would be a good idea to throw this question out to the gang...
I have not yet installed our prefabricated instrument panel and while it is torn apart for installation of a second comm radio I have been giving thought to what other upgrades might best be undertaken before the panel gets mated to the airframe.
Here's the primary equipment installed... GRT Horizon Widescreen interfaced to SL-30, Garmin 396 and TruTrak ADI Pilot II autopilot. Engine monitoring is via AFS2400. (Yes, this panel has been sitting in a box for a few years now so it's definitely functional but not full of the latest goodies.)
I've got some additional height available in the panel so I'm trying to figure out whether there's sufficient benefit to be gained from spending the $600 to upgrade from WS to HS screen format. I've already ruled out the big bucks to go to the HX - my CFO won't go for that.
I'd like to hear from those who have flown with both WS and HS screens. What are the advantages to going with the HS screen? Are they sufficient to merit doing the upgrade?
Thanks in advance for your helpful replies.
