I actually think a better approach to this is to have a [dedicated time formatting formula](https://community.fibery.io/t/formula-field-custom-formatting-to-the-dates/9619) that allow us to specify the timezone.  
Timezone conversion seems like a heavy lift to tuck into a ToText()

What do you think Matt?
