Narrative:
During approach to ZZZ; experienced numerous warning messages: shed bus off 1 & 2; bleed 1 fx; ams control fx; a/P fx; yd fx; swps fx; probably a few more. Landing performance per checklist increased 1.20 and did not have the numbers for ZZZ. Pfd (primary flight display) and mfds (multi-function flight displays) we're beginning to flicker. ZZZ1 had adequate length; elected to divert there. Partner wanted to go to ZZZ2 because ZZZ1 did not have a vertical guidance approach. I did not want to risk over flying a suitable landing field with multiple electronic and instrument issues to fly 65 miles to another airport and risk losing all pfd and mfd.once the decision was made to divert to ZZZ1; we should have concentrated on diverting to that field instead of wasting precious resources and time on 'feeling' for better options. I think it became inherent that when you crew two pics together you get two different ways of thought. We had multiple failures occurring and I believed the more time we spent on ZZZ2 interfered with our approach into ZZZ1. It is nice to have long runways and vertical and lateral guidance but sometimes you just have to fly the plane and get it on the ground. Thoughts of that aircraft that went into the everglades because the crew fixated on a burnt out landing gear indicator came to mind. Over reliance on the gadgets is a bad thing. When in doubt; get it on the ground now and you can armchair quarterback it afterward.
