While I agree that when toddling around in the soup, you don't
need anymore challenges, I'm thinking that the additional $150 overhead
for adding a flag needs to be reconsidered. I've got the vacuum gauge,
albeit on the far side of the panel. At some point, however, one needs to
say, "enough is enough. I won't get raped any longer on aviation price
gouging." Having the flag doesn't make the gyro work when it breaks, just
potentially alerts you sooner.

Dunno... need to think about it a bit more. Don't even get me
started on the $150 price overhead for getting a lighted one....
