I've been assuming I'd install Garmin MFDs, sonar and radar in our electronics refit, but Furuno has recently caught my eye.
The Garmin 7612xsv has chirp and downvu built in--an extravagance certainly--but still kind of cool to have. The GMR 24 XHD dome has decent specs and is about $2K.
The 12-inch Furuno TZTouch2 is about $1K less than the Garmin, has conventional sonar built in and Active Captain. Furuno's DRS4D dome has slightly lesser specs than the Garmin and is a few hundred cheaper.
I realize I'm taking a very superficial look here, so I'd appreciate experienced people's opinions of these MFDs and radars, ease of use, quality of the mapping software, strength of customer service, etc.
Thanks!
