I've always felt that the airspeed ribbons are backwards. If you dive, you gain speed, so the higher airspeed numbers should be lower on the display. Just my $.02
No sh_ _ oooh ahhh. I didn't even realize those possibilities when I ordered my D-100 yesterday. Apparently in order to take full advantage of that display you need to have the Garmin SL30 for the radio. No problemo I got one of them last year at Osh. The D-100 and the D-10A also can be hooked up with my lowly Garmin 295 which will be panel mounted. So I'll give it a big OOOOH HAAAAAAA! The panel design is coming along nicely. Thanks for the heads up you made my morning.

Cool!! You're not the only one that'll have a "lowly 295" panel mounted...me too!
In regards to getting used to this type of display, I have a "lowly" D10 in my 6A. I have found that since I have now located where to look in the display for what flight info I need, it is now second nature. Its great to have all that information in one spot so your instrument "scan" is now just a glance at one instrument.
