My little 12" Lowrance dome can see thunderstorms, but is near worthless were you really need it, close-in with fog. The main bang circle blots out everything inside a 1/10 mile radius!!!
IMHO, buy a 4 kw dome. Find someone with a unit like what you want to buy and check it out. You may find the unit works great but simple tasks like changing gain or rain clutter are menu driven and will drive you insane. I miss the days of a Gain knob.
