Hi, guys - and as always, thanks.
The big advantage to this system is that it's customizable. The displays can be analog analagous, ie, display like a gauge rather than a calculator, and I can set up warning light parameters. So if the OP drops below "X", the display will show a warning light, and while I haven't got too deeply into it, I believe the ECU can be programmed to shut down in the event of a severe OP drop.
Additionally, I can wire in the signal from the Accusump to trigger a different light, so that if it's operating, I'm aware of it.
It's allegedly readable in bright light and the lighting is adjustable, as are the colors and gauge presentations. The reviews I've seen are pretty positive regarding readability.
The cockpit of the Midget is actually rather dark - not a lot of light gets directly in.
It also serves as a data logger display, so I don't have to plug the computer in every time I want to check events.
Generally, I'm a fan of redundancies.

But I am up against it.
I guess if it's a problem, I'll know in a few weeks.
