Let me be the first one to ask whether this will work with the IFD series, lol.

No reason it wouldn't, and the TT fellow said as much.

The new announcements by TT & ASPEN are huge.

In doing a little more research, I am still not sure the E5 is better than two G5s except if you need to drive a legacy autopilot. The E5 doesn't have an HSI (unless you upgrade to the Pro), limited air data (no wind speed/vectors), and no reversionary capability. I do prefer the way the E5 shows lateral and vertical deviation indicators on the PFD, though, and I don't care about the 2 vs 4 hour standby battery life-- if I have an electrical failure it had better not take me more than 2 hours to make a safe landing.
