the gateway took smartcraft data and put it onto a n2k network so any mfd could have engine data using that mfd's generic gauge interface. biggest downfall here is you get generic faults if any at all
the vessel view link was for mercury/simrad/Lowrance/bg mfd's ONLY and gave you the actual mercury vessel view gauge interface and the big advantage here is faults, vessel view interface will give you the fault description (ex. engine misfire cyl 8)
the new connect appears to be like the vessel view link just for Garmin and raymarine mfd's
I did a pretty extensive upgrade from gauges to all mfd's on a boat recently and went with simrad for the very reason to get the oem mercury interface/vessel view software. had this been available I for sure would have went a different route with the displays! I don't think simrad displays are bad nor am I not happy with them, there are just better displays out there.

thank you for giving real life knowledge. Should have done my own research. Thought this was a software upgrade, but turns out it is a hardware upgrade. Of course in true to form fashion nowhere can you get pricing info nor can you purchase without a dealer.

it was announced just a few days ago, give it a little bit... Given the fact that it does about the same thing as what the vessel view links, I would have to assume on the hardware side it’s going to be in at $1500 ballpark

So, I'm currently installing a Garmin 9" MFD and intrigued by the SmartCraft Connect. Did a little digging and came up with this:

Checking local dealer to get a cost and availability.
