Sure Jabiman, that is a picture of a panel available in new Jabiru aircraft.

The difference between the 30 year old "clapped out Cessna" is that the Jabiru has the lowest cost denominator non-TSO'ed Dynon with an Avmap GPS. it has a non TSO'ed $350 turn coordinator, a non TSO Chinese $350 altimeter, a $200 ASI and a bunch of LED's from Supercheap autos. This is actually an LSA night VFR model and costs approx $30k extra. To its' credit, it does have a TSO'ed Garmin SL30, however that is not typical as it is a requirement for NVFR.

Short of the SL30 which is not standard in this aircraft there are no useful TSO'ed navaids so how are you going to track legally to an IFR approach point or similar?

This discussion was more about the pilot than the equipment though I guess.
