I'm flying to the Isle of Man today in a microlight with an efis fit that I would love to have in the 172, but certification requirements prohibit.
It's common to see such superb instrumentation in modern microlights and I see little point in having it on board if you're not capable of using it in an emergency. Get an AI fitted and learn how to use it. Better that than joining the ranks of those who 'Lost control after inadvertent entry into IMC'. Just remember that it's a 'Get out of jail' card, and should never be relied upon to carry out a flight.
