MessageHmmm. .   I talked to the EFIS sales guy at Grand Rapids about my intent about 5 months ago, and he said, "no problem".  I'll have to look into this further.  Of course, my situation might be somewhat different because I'm using their EIS 6000 for engine monitoring.  I agree that flexibility is nice, but it also leads to more complexity.  Then there's the $500. . . .

  I'm also planning to use the GRT EFIS.  At this point I'm planning a dedicated PFD on top, with a multi-mode Moving Map/Graphical Engine Info/PFD under it.  My thinking is that I will always want the primary flight instruments right in front of me, but if that unit goes south, I can use the lower GRT display as a backup.  The lower unit will usually be in moving map mode, except during leaning or evaluating a potential engine issue.  The GRT EIS 6000 will provide engine indications the rest of the time.  My backup moving map will be the GPS (both panel-mount and handheld).



  I have the dual screen GRT setup, and also intended one as dedicated display since I have a separate engine monitor with will not display on their screen.  Apparently, you cannot have one dedicated and one not dedicated with the two displays, and they charged me the extra $500.  When questioned, they refunded $250.  I think it is good to be able to use either screen for any display.
