Lately I have used the XTreme-EFIS with great results as well as some of their older products. I also have lots of their digital instruments in my planes and they all work well. I fully agree on the iPad/mini, I have been using one for a while in the plane and I am really happy running software like Air Nav Pro and the great EasyCockpit/EasyPlan/EasyWeather (Southern Africa only I think) suite of software.
