Looking at you...
Lol. But that's exactly the sort of thing that's helpful when considering replacements.

I mind knowing what's great about something, but I definitely want to know what isn't.

I do like not having the mic cord dangling at the helm. Right now it's remote mic on the pillar besides the starboard door. This is not a smart mic, just the plain one... but out the rear of the unit. It doesn't look like the FM-4800 has that and the 4850 is entirely smart remotes (and separate speakers).

Your comment about the screen being simpler than you'd like is also a concern. But then again screens that get too complicated are an added hassle to use.
