Donald,
1) If you have an EMS and an EFIS in the airplane, you will be able to put any information on either side. This is not fully implemented yet, so you'll need to wait for a firmware update to be able to shift both directions. Having an EFIS and an EMS in the airplane does not give you any redundancy though- if one unit fails, you loose that information.
It sounds like what you want is a D180 on one side and a D100 on the other. This will give you redundant EFIS displays, but if the D180 fails you will loose your engine instruments. This works for most people as the engine instruments are not usually flight critical to get down safely.
2) We support the 914 except that we don't have the differential pressure sensor calibrated yet. We expect to have this soon.
3) We don't support hooking two engine monitors up to one sensor. Many sensors are resistive and require current through them to sense. If you hook up tow EMS units to one sensor, it will read wrong. You are better off to just share the EMS display.
4) Our AHRS units are inside of our products. They work fine in the panel and do not need to be mounted near the CoG. The only thing we have remote is our magnetometer (electonic compass). This only needs to be free of magnetic interference and doesn't need to be near the CoG either. Your location sounds like it will work for this.
