I have flown an older aircraft with dual G5s and also one with total glass (Cirrus). I find both a little difficult but then I am a very old pilot and years of scanning 6 basic instruments is something that is difficult for me to un-learn.
If the old steam driven DI or AH on my aircraft failed, I would consider replacing with a G5.
The cost of installation would, I guess, vary depending on what you hook up. From what I know, the G5 is far more than just a DI as it can display your ADF needle and be an HSI. I think they can flush fit as well.
The problem is I cannot, after a lifetime of looking at the ASI to the left, stop myself looking left for the speed.
