solid state Doppler radars

need to add radar to a new-to me boat. Will not be fishing (birds).
Mostly for collision avoidance, navigation at night and reduced visibility. Will be 85% coastal, 15% blue water passages.
Will be installed on a low arch on flybridge.

Do the newer doppler solid states add much benefit here?
Also will have some new-to-boating taking watches at the helm so intuitive screen appearance perhaps a help.

Specifically considering Garmin x-hd2 6 kw vs newer 40w 4 ft.

Thanks in advance!
