The XRS, GX and GX Vision don't have "the same" flight deck as the C series. I could start with the GX yoke and go from there. They share the Pro Line 21 avionics lineage, yes.
Any Global pilot moving to the C series should find both quite compatible no matter which direction he/she moved. GX to CS or CS to GX. Either would be an easy transition.

Got it... Now I understand what you are saying.
I did not mean the entire cockpit (systems, layout, etc) is the same but rather
just the avionics from Collins.
I hope I'll get the chance to fly the 7000 or 8000 prior to my retirement.
