Lowell,
I put in a backup ASI and altimeter. I guess you could also argue a turn coordinator
would be good but I really only fly day VFR anyway so if I know my altitude
and airspeed, I am good to go.

I'm using the Grand Rapids EIS, but an early version. It contains all of
the engine instruments including OAT, engine hours, and more, plus parameter
alarm. It puts a lot of instruments in a small spot on the panel so I
could have a large glove box for charts, CDs, etc. Never had a problem with
it.
What I have on the panel is Airspeed, TC, Altimeter, Artificial Horizon,
Vertical Speed. Also have a Fuel Flow meter and G meter, but that could
easily be eliminated as it's never had a useful purpose other than to tell
me how bad my landings are.
Most of the EFIS units I've perused have way too many things crammed into a
small screen for me to interpret under pressure. Just my opinion.

Lowell - I've got airspeed, altimeter, vertical speed, and an electric turn
coordinator for redundancy to a Dynon D-100 in my Model 7(see attached
photo) . I've got 11 hours on the airplane and find myself glancing more and
more at the Dynon. It's the first airplane I've had with an EFIS and I
must say I'm very impressed with it!
