    Thanks Matt! I will definitely keep Matronics up to date on our products. I don't know of any plans at this time to bring back anything like the VP-200 and the VP-300/400 is no more. The concentration will be on the VP-X and the development of the primary power system, which is in a second engineering review state. Glad you like your 200's though! -------- Chad Jensen Vertical Power Support RV-7, built, flown, sold Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=420688#420688

    WI Count me as another VP-200 fan...and I haven't even installed mine yet. I got the last one after the VP-300/400s came out, a refurbished unit that the owner traded in for a VP-400. Why did I want the -200? For the same reasons Matt cited. I just don't see the benefit of merely replacing some circuit breakers that is essentially the role of the VP-X. For a couple of years now I've thought that the logical next step for VP would be to provide an add-on for the -X to achieve all or most of the -200 functionality. With the -X physical switches handle only very low power triggering currents. Those triggers could be provided by an onboard computer, like the -200 offers. Furthermore, you wouldn't have to replace all your physical switches. Just put the onboard computer behind the panel, wire each physical switch in parallel to the computer, and have a small LCD screen on the panel to provide system status info.
