Bigbeam,

For systems featuring a MFD running LHII software or LH3 software an featuring an Evolution autopilot, an autopilot control head is not required unless the vessel is a sailing vessel and seeking to exercise the autopilot's wind vane mode. While not required and it may permit cost savings, it is generally considered to be a best installation practice to install an autopilot control head at each steering station to permit the quickest access to an autopilot's controls. Also and has you have seen the Evolution autopilot components are bundled into packages including a control head which may ultimately negate any retail savings expected through separately purchasing the autopilot components.
