Quantum, the new furuno doppler, and anyone else headed in that direction might bear close watching though. I would like hands on with something great before I sell or toss pretty darn expensive "good enough".
Some of the new ones have nice features and advantages. Not enough though in most cases to upgrade if an existing one is working. Just for consideration next time. Much of the time, both the type and size of the radar is dictated by the boat. Now, what I see with some of the new ones like the Quantum is, if you can get better in the same space with a lighter unit, that has appeal. Still not enough to make me change, but enough to make me consider next time.
