My sincere thanks to all who responded to this line. I will use a lot of what you recommended and hope to put together a capable cockpit within financial sensibility (reality butting in again). I really liked the free-for-all wish list approach on some of the responses and think that there is a great cockpit like that coming down the pipe some day. As for my own preferences I like the addressable above/below TCAS, a night visor for cockpit glare, the newer Iridium network phones over Satcom and a good place on the side console for a notepad and coffee cup. HGS is great but perhaps one that incorporates EVS is better.
Thanks again.
