MUCH better, and worth the extra $, IMO.

I have had both and currently use the Garmin 225 C. I think the color out shines the B&W when you are doing some serious navigating I.E. following charted bouys in tight channels. I think you can get a better and quicker picture of your position at a glance with the color unit. Just my two cents.

I recently bought a Garmin 176C a couple weeks ago. I could not fit a larger unit due to limited dash space. I am very pleased with it. I think the color is worth the extra dolars for sure. There are several outfits selling the package deals with the Blue Chart CD and the roadway CD alond with the automotive adapters and suck for a great deal. (I paid 475 after a rebate).

This screen is very visibly in sun light but as a general rule black and white is better. The unit also takes "updates" that you download for free from the Lowrance web site. The update sometimes adds features or fix bugs just like in a PC. You can and probably should also buy Navionics Gold charts on media cards that the X-19 can take, they are much better and more detailed then the charts that come with the unit.
Good Luck
