Super nice!
You are a smart man for going with two separate engine monitors.

You are a smart man for going with two separate engine monitors. Why? Is it easier to read? I was wondering why he had two, then saw your response.. But now I'm curious.. How much more expensive is it to buy two vs one? Is this normal?

We are still waiting on EI to work out a fuel quantity issue and tell us if we will have a reversionary mode in the monitors, but I have no info on that yet

Or would you switch the remaining unit between engines?

I was told during the sales pitch that there is a way to change between engines. Now that the units are in, that capability is not there. I am still hoping, but so far nothing. The fuel quantity issue is very frustrating, and they have an " oh well" attitude.
