I hope this doesn't come across as a frequently-asked-question, but I have done quite a bit of research and can't quite answer my question on this.
The VPX-Pro is primarily an electrical distribution system and can be used to replace some of your fuses and/or breakers. But it also performs other functions, particularly flap control and trim control.
Garmin's GAD 27 can also do flap control and trim control. It can't replace any fuses/breakers, but it does have a few extra things: Wig Wag (which I will have from Fly LEDs anyways), Lighting Controller, Voltage Stabilizer (won't need this w/ IBBS), and extra discrete inputs into the G3X Touch system.
I'm building an RV-10 and was planning on using the G3X Touch suite, Garmin autopilot servos, and Van's elevator trim/aileron trim/flaps servos. I'm debating on VPX-Pro vs GAD 27.

My questions:
- What does dimming look like without the GAD 27? I admittedly haven't dug into this much. If I had a VPX-Pro and no GAD 27 would I be limited to a single potentiometer for panel dimming?
- Does the GAD 27 do flaps and/or trim BETTER than the VPX-Pro? If I buy the VPX-Pro instead of the GAD 27 what functionality do I lose?
