Garmin sirius radio antenna

I'm looking at buying a Garmin Sirius radio antenna for my trawler. Can anyone tell me if the Garmin GXM52 is worth spending more money ($200+) than buying a less expensive GXM51?

What chart-plotters will you be using it with? We just got amGXM52 for our 2 741xs's. I think the GXM52 is aimed more at their new line of chart-plotters.

That makes sense, thanks. I have 4212 Garmin chart plotters.

Then the GXM51 should do you just fine.
