Depends on the "VFR flight". Not all VFR flights are the proverbial $100 burger runs
In much of Europe, you have complex airspace and nervous ATC.
I flew a TBM850 recently with the G1000 cockpit and compared to an old TBM (with the old but nice EFIS-40 kit and a vast number of switches and gauges all over the panel) it is a vast improvement in information presentation.
As I keep saying, my gripe with these cockpits is that they are a great way to create AOG situations. This is not so much of an issue if you are based at the same airport where the Garmin or Avidyne dealer is based.
I assume the way this issue is dealt with at the upper end of the food chain is by throwing money at the avionics man who jumps into a 737 and sorts you out. A TBM will cost you around £50k/year just in routine maintenance, anyway. But this level of service simply does not happen at the light piston end of things.
