Thanks Lionel. This goes and proves that you simply cannot go to one source and expect to always get the correct answer. I was just researching the Piper Owner's Society [forums.piperowner.org] forum and the general consensus leaned towards JPI. If some of you want an interesting read, you may want to check this out. Reps from both EI and JPI participate, and it's not exactly a friendly exchange. mad

Initially, the EI caught my eye because it has an auxiliary channel available. The way I would utilize this would be to incorporate the fuel pressure with this auxiliary channel and install the fuel flow meter in it's place. Handy! The GPS interface looks interesting. May have to research that a bit more.

Please keep the opinions and recommendations coming?

Added related note!

For any fuel calculations to be accurate, you must start out with a known quantity of fuel! Preferably topped off tanks. Any less and you may be riding on borrowed time. A lesson relearned this past weekend!! blush
