Dave,
Your numbers have been bothering me so I went back and looked at my avionics purchases.
I bought almost exactly what you describe as the GRT system (2 displays, 1 air
data computer, xm wx, IO-540 engine instruments including fuel flow) for $11.1K
minus a 5% discount, or $10.6K - a lot less than you quoted, and comparable
with the G3X. Possible differences: I got the standard size, not larger size,
displays (+$1.2K for two). I also got an HX and a HS, e.g., synthetic vision
on only one display. I couldn't reason the extra $2K for two HX's when the second
display is used for engine instruments most of the time.
Something you failed to mention: GRT is the only system that will continue to give
you engine information if the EFIS fails.
I'm sure you'll be happy with your choice. Just wanted to point out the cost differences
are closer than you thought.

Bob,
That's good info. You are correct about the engine monitor being independent from
the EFIS which is not the case with the others. As far as cost goes the suppliers
keep adjusting their prices so you need to use current data. Mine is
already obsolete and it is only 2 months old. There is also a seemingly infinite
number of combinations and this adds to the headache. The value of these
discussions is to get the relevant data out in the open so the next guy is better
prepared to ask the right questions.

With G3X you can have two EFIS screens fail and still get engine info. The GSU
would have to fail or three screens.
