All stack metersand other standalone digi dash units are £££, It may be a silly idea but maybe you could try magnifying the commander screen like they used to do with smaller screen tv\'s.
 
Mount the commander far back in the dash then mould a magnified screen closer to the driver in the usual instruments space

thats ok but my apexi contoler is  not that bright so hard to see
i find it quite amazing that the apexi dont do a plug in dash to suit there ecu i would though that would be better if used in motor sport
