3-4 hours
3hrs for women, 4 for men (assumes they used the rest room before departure).
I think you are right on target about Avidyne v Garmin.
I did similar upgrade, but adopted the L3 NGT9000 as a lot of avionics guys recommended it. I like that it has it's own screen too!
IFD 100 is awesome and probably does make the 440 more reasonable. I just added the 550, with plans to find a 540 to put below it where the Garmin 530w resides now. (its pre-wired to mesh with the 550.
I put the audio panel on top and like it there. I haven't used half the features as I had a heck of a time getting good training with the IFDs and two Aspen panels...
The Avidyne simulator is really good, and I used the Bauer book provided with the 550 purchase to go thru a lot of scenarios.
