Hey guys,
FYI, Garmin is currently running a $200 rebate when you buy a chartplotter and a G2 Vision Bluechart card. Here's a link to the rebate form:

In essence, depending on which card you might want or need, you practically get the card for free (which provides 3D viewing and other cool features like auto guidance).
I just picked up a 421 for a little over $300 and a G2 Vision Card for a little over $200. After the rebate, the card is almost free. I went back and forth between the 421 and 521, but didn't think the extra inch of screen was worth the almost $200 extra.
I'm planning to create a network between my Garmin 250c FF, 421 CP, Garmin Fuel Senor, and my Standard Horizon VHF. I'll let you know how it all pans out in the end. If any of you have any suggestions for how best to do this, I welcome your input.
