Rob - The Lowrance 9300C HD looks like a good deal, but I don't see ready-to-go WX satellite weather, or video input. (I'm going to hook up the video output from ny TV/DVD in the cabin, so I can watch in the cockpit, too.) It has an ethernet port, but I'm no whiz at inventing interfaces whereas the Garmin is plug-n-play on that front. The Garmin's also a 12" screen vs. the Lowrance 10.4". Overall, I'd say the Lowrance is more like a Garmin 3010C. Thanks anyway!!

Gotcha. How much extra would the xm be? Is it something you can add-on?
