In my opinion, going experimental will reduce the number of people who will consider buying your airplane by at least 90%. The reason? People who want to buy experimental aircraft buy (or build) experimental aircraft. And there is an almost non-existant market for twin engine experimental aircraft because (again in my opinion) most experimental aircraft buyer have a higher risk tolorance than certified buyers, and would rather have a very high performance single than a twin. (Twins would take considerably longer to build as well.)
Certified buyers, when faced with a choice between five aircraft, one of which is yours which is experimental and one-of-a-kind, and the others which are normally maintained certified airplanes, well, very few will pick the experimental, except perhaps at a deep price discount.
So, if you go experimental, your aircraft will become difficult to sell at any price, and when you do sell it, it will likely be at a deep discount from its certified value.
As I said, my opinion only.
