Happy I Bit the Bullet
I put in the JPI 930 and went ahead and bit the bullet on the CiES senders. When you a looking at spending a fair bit on money on the panel, it's really not that expensive. It's very reassuring to have the totalizer and the gauge agree within a couple of gallons.
You can get yourself in trouble with total reliance on the totalizer. It's a garbage in, garbage out device and you can get it out of sync with reality. I have personal experience with this, which is probably why I didn't balk at the price.
My old gauges were terrible. The JPI with the CiES senders always agrees with the totalizer within a couple of gallons. And it's within a gallon when the total fuel in the mains gets below around 30 gallons.
Is it an absolutely must have? No. But the new technology is clearly better and it's certainly an upgrade that I'm happy is available for my old plane.
