I agree the Garmin G1000 is a good layout. I wish thought that they had included wind vector and ground track on the HSI. Currently wind vector is on the MFD and ground track is displayed digitally top right of PFD so your scan is scattered.
Not sure I understand this - as implemented on the 172 G1000 and others the wind vector is on the PFD, immediately to the upper left of the HSI. Ground track is indicated ON the HSI by a little magenta delta.
By the way, Garmin has now announced a Synthetic Vision and Highway in the Sky upgrade to the G1000. Neat demo video here:
