I have a Shadin. The easy to read flow per engine is what is used all the time. The totalizer is combined as you point out, which can be a bit of a limitation. In my case I tend to use the totalizer only relative to the mains. So I set it for 90 gallons and let it count down my total main fuel. It seems my rear engine uses a bit more fuel until I get it set up and leaned in cruise. So when you get to "the last hour", ie 20 gallons on the totalizer, you might only actually have 8 in the rear main and 12 in the front...but arguably it is close enough. If I intend to use aux fuel I will program that in, but then you quickly lose track of where the fuel is because the totalizer is using fuel to the engines in total...it cares less what tank it is coming from...and then with the return fuel (at least with my system) the aux fuel refurn ends up in the mains...and at an unknown rate.
Totalizers leaving each tank would be the answer!
