It's not glass but the Riley Super Skyrocket panel was really designed nicely. This aircraft has been on the market for quite some time. Not sure the situation but might be worth a call to Bill Crews at the Skymaster Center. It's the same price range as the Rocket II but this has the Riley conversion with TSIO-520 engines. Full de-ice and lots of other nice add-ons.

During our recent conference call for the SOAPA group Brian von Herzen joined us on the call. He flies a Super Skyrocket and has made several pond crossings with it. He indicated that at 55% hp running LOP he gets 170-180 kts cruise burning 10 gal per engine (did I get that right Larry?). Anyway I was really surprised with the numbers that Brian was quoting. Seemed very efficient. He did say that it will cruise at 200 kts at FL 200 but using some more fuel.
FWIW
