Thanks guys for the great input. I admittedly am still torn between using a Dynon or MGL all in one, or an I-Pad or two with iLevil. The obvious advantage of the iLevil is the low cost to do multiple screens, but there are definitely some advantages with the all-in-ones.
And even though I am one of those people that rarely look at my panel when flying my Highlander, I promised myself when I finally build a new panel it will have synthetic vision, so whatever I choose has to have that capability. I hope to do some traveling in my Highlander in the future (not because of its blazing speeds, but because it will be a "go pretty much anywhere flying camper"), and I just want some peace of mind knowing I can get back on the ground if encountering unexpected weather. No, I do not want to fly it IFR as that just isn't my idea of a good time in a Highlander. It's just a little added safety factor that will make me feel better if I run into some some challenging VFR.
Back to my original posting, for those of you flying with synthetic vision, would you see any reason you couldn't fly the plane well with the screen in the center verses directly in front of you?
