Even though it doesn't have pitch info, I've been really happy with the
Trutrak

http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/...struments.html

Powers up in 3 seconds, even in a crank and bank turn, so can be left off
until needed. The "sky and ground" display is more intuitive than a turn
coordinator or needle and ball. In use, the horizon display closely tracks
the real horizon. For $445, cheap insurance.

The AHRS-2 lists for $1200.

Yeah, that sounds about right: I actually said it was about $200 LESS THAN
a standard compass + mechanical T&S + artifical horizon. The price I saw
was GBP 695.
