Got the VP-200 for safety reasons and pre-VPX era. You may not need it, and that will free up that space for a IFR screen, if you wish. I will say that the safety features that the VP uses for mode switches and engine alarms is great!

Listers,
I would also highly recommend the Vertical Power VP-200. I wouldn't fly an Experimental without one. Look how clean Pacscal's panel is without all those switches and circuit breakers! Nice. Push that Green button once when you get in, and from then on the VP-200 takes care of turning On and Off all the various circuits depending on the automatically detected Mode of flight. Startup, Taxi, Runup, Takeoff, Cruise, Landing, etc. Its pretty darn cool. I've got 172 hours on the RV-8 and 48 hours on the RV-6 both with VP-200 systems and have found it to work flawlessly. If you're on the fence about buying one, don't be. You'll love it. Best money I've spent on both RVs, hands down. See attached pictures of my VP-200 from both the RV-8 and RV-6. The RV-8 has dual alternators for redundancy and this is supported by the VP-200 and shown as the "Pri Alt" and "Sec Alt" on the main display.
Pascal, you should contact Vertical power and get the latest software update for the VP-200 (from early December 2011). It now supports full EMS data link from the Dynon Skyview so all of the Mode selection is fully automatic. You also get some of the primary engine instrument display on the VP-200 screen as well as a myriad of visual and audible engine annunciators. Works great.
