So far, I really like the FM-4800. Not only does it have it's own GPS and NMEA 2000, it doesn't require a massive hole to mount..................can it be mounted on a vertical surface?

The menus are very easy to use, and the speaker is louder than any of the others I have..................This feature attracted me!

I am also able to start a DSC call from the TZT2's just by clicking on an AIS contact....................I wonder if this would work with a Raymarine AIS!

The screen is a bit simpler than I'd like, but it does the job.
I really like an uncluttered VHF screen.
Looking forward to more of your assessment!
