I've convinced myself that an autopilot is now a  'must have' item.  The apparent choices seem to be Trio's EZpilot, or  TruTrac's Pictoral Pilot II.  Any Pro/Con comments on either.  Or  alternatives.

 Have you considered the Dynon AP which sounds too good to be true  especially if you are using the Dynon D100  for  your primary  instrument package.  It won't be out until the fall apparently but they are  now accepting orders I believe.  I agree the an AP is a must have item,  particularly if you plan to do much IFR work with it. These airplanes are such  good cross country machines, an AP for about 3 grand ($1,500 for the fancy  Dynon AP76 and $750 each for 2 servos) is too good a tool to pass up even on a  nice sunny VFR day. If it works as good as the rest of their stuff  supposedly does.

		   I have been using a Trio EZ Pilot II in my Zodiac 601XL for 374 hours. Never a problem. EZ to install. Works as advertised and would do it again. I would highly recommend an AP.  I can have the data stream sent to the AP either via my GPS296 or via my BM EFIS via a switch on the panel.Tony GrazianoZodiac 601XL; N493TG----------------------------I've convinced myself that an autopilot is now a 'must have' item.
