Does anyone have the new Garmin G3X touch system in their Lightning? I'm looking at replacing my MGL with the Garmin system. I'd be putting in one 10" panel, one 7" panel, and autopilot, any thoughts?

I asked a few months ago about possibly installing a Garmin G3X Touch system. Well, I decided to do it and wanted to post a couple pics if anyone is interested in doing something similar.
I went with (2) of the 10" displays, Garmin 430W, GTR 20 Comm, GTX 23 ES transponder, GDL 39R, Audio panel, and Autopilot. I already had the 430W and audio panel. I liked the Garmin over the Dynon Skyview system and the cost was relatively the same.
Now that the system is up and running, I think I made the right decision. Out of the box, after wiring, mounting, initial programming, and test flights, it works as advertised. The only minor adjustment to the autopilot was setting the correct gain.
I had someone help with the wiring, he was excellent. The time to rip out and reinstall was fairly quick. I want to mention that while I didn't build this plane, it's a joy to fly and work on. Nick from Arion was always just a phone call away and I appreciate him taking the time to talk to me.
Thanks,
Curt

Curt,
Very nice looking panel. Thanks for sharing. Do you mind if I include this in the next newsletter? If you want you could write a short article to go with the pictures.
Regards,
