Should Synthetic Vision be placed on commercial Aircraft?

There are studies out there which state that Synthetic Vision increases a Pilot's Situation-Awareness along with other safety factors. Although SVS are common in Private aircraft, why are Airbus or other commercial aircraft manufacturers not yet implementing these design onto larger aircraft?

If the current glass displays were replaced with slightly larger LCD screens and powerful graphics and processing hardware were implemented also, with slight movement of gauge dials around the central panel (all gauges that were partly on the left remain on the LHS and same for the RHS), would this not be a positive step towards the future of cockpit design?

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Cheers!
