BTW what does an AV8 cost?

  Depends on how its configured. I bought mine at Copperstate 2 years ago.
I got the standard monitor with probes/sensors (RPM, oil press, oil temp,
coolant temp, 2 egts, bus voltage, bus current, OAT, and a couple of
timers). In addition I got mods to provide fuel pressure up to 80 psi,
coolant pressure, a sw mod to enable tach up to 7000RPM and I added the
optional 4 line display. There are a couple of spare thermocouple inputs so
I can monitor temps under the cowl. I could have added fuel flow and MAP
but chose not to since Tracy was going to be providing this. And it hooks
into your intercom so it tells you when something goes out of limits; not
just a tone, it tells you what parameter is out of limits. IIRC the price
was just under $1000 for all of the above.

  So for comparison purposes I think its a little cheaper than the RMI (the
$849 you quoted earlier doesnt include any probes or sensors, those are
extra) and I think its comparable or maybe a little more than the Grand
Rapids EIS.
