Was wondering what would be your dream panel if cost was not a factor and why you would choose the instruments you do?

Well remember you asked. Winter ALT and ASI, and Airpath compass (usually required by manufacture's operational manual) however I consider the ALT and compass of little worth anymore.

LX9000 with V8 vario plus AHRS, compass, flaps, and remote stick options. AirAvionics Butterfly vario with NMEA interface and Air Glide connect stick, Apple iPhone 6 plus and mount running AirAvionics iGlide pro. LXNAV Nano 3 (doesn't everyone need 4 loggers?)Trig TY-91 radio with Peiker TM168 boom mike. Trig TT22 transponder. PowerFLARM. DeLorme In-Reach Explorer. 2 @ 16amp Hobby King LiFePO4 batteries. Jensi 308 Duo battery charger. Taylor 5862 Digital 4 Event Timer. Paraphernalia mini softie 240# w/ aerobatic harness with thread-thru adapters. 1" blue and 1" pink g foam seat cushions in 2" cotton cover. Cut-to-fit sheepskin. Mountain High O2D1 pulse demand O2 system. 25K-30K ought to cover it...you'll need more for consumables, support, and miscellaneous stuff. BTW, don't forget the 150K plus for the wife's obligatory motorhome.
