Up for comments... Here’s another preliminary stab at a panel for my Lightning.
I am on the waiting list for the Odyssey, (panel on left side),. I have not purchased the Enigma, (or right). I’m not quite sure what all I am going to do with that panel space. I will probably fly with it blank for starters, then decide if I want anything more than a glove box over there.
If I use both displays, they can interact in real time and either can function as an EFIS, or GPS. This will give me a backup EFIS. MG Avionics is coming out with a slave unit for the Odyssey next year that is much lower in price than the Enigma, but can provide me with the dual display setup that I would get with the Enigma.
As usual, comments are welcome.
I am heading back down to Green Landings tomorrow for a few days to keep working on the aircraft. I’ll keep you all up to date.
Cheers
Jim!

This may reveal my ignorance, but Why do you have a "whisky compass" in the panel?
The EFIS (either one) have built in compass which should satisfy the VFR reg. The one you show in the panel is completly worthless because of electrical interferance, not to mention they are worthless to start with if the air is rough.
Practically, if I were concerned with a total failure of the panel, I would carry a handheld GPS for heading information, not try to fly a whisky.

Doug:
I am assuming by your response that you mean a liquid compass? I know that the compass that the EFIS has is legal to fly by, but I would like to have a level of redundancy in regards to my heading and I prefer not to carry ahandheld with me.
Jim!
