transponder (is)a nuisance to lose at best...

I wonder whether the VLJ folks who are using the G-1000 plan on
transponder redundancy. Loss of a transponder can result in ATC booting
an airplane out of Class A airspace.


Which is why I was specifically referencing the NAV III (piston)
setup. I believe the Mustang is equipped with dual GTX, AHARS, and
ADCs in addition to a weather radar and additional (larger?) third
screen as it's MFD, the other (standard) GDUs are configured for PFD
in that setup.

I see that you did. But, that still left a hole in my education about
what they are up to with this stuff in the VLJs. Thanks for the
clarification.
