Sounds good, except I would go with the Air Avionics ACD (Air Control Display), paired with the KRT2 and VT-01 Mode S transponder (saves 1 panel cutout). And I would add the Garmin GDL 82 ADS-B. I would also use the Air Avionics altimeter (it's awesome!).

Schleicher has a thing about circuit breakers (?!).

The Air Avionics ACD is awesome, but has some limitations when used with the KRT2. It will also control a Becker. When you use the ACD-57 as a two or three purpose head, it saves panel cutouts, but you loose some display information as the display is shared. I'd probably do two, one for radio, another for altimeter and xponder control. I'm not certain the VT-01 Mode S is as yet legal in the US as an ADS-B vehicle. Sadly Trig will not let the ACD control their xpdnr.
