I cant make specific recommendations (I am still using a Sitex CVS-106 from the 80's) but I have found a real good tactic for shopping for most anything is to:

Get out a note pad to keep up with the overload of information.

Search on the internet for what you are looking for (that $1400 unit at Cabelas if probably $800 on ebay).

Read as any "customer ratings" as you can, they seem to be the most helpful to getting a feel for how good or bad a unit is...and read at least 10 reviews of every one unit you are looking at.

Once you narrow down what you need/want, go to whatever retailer near you has the units in stock so you can check it out in person.

Just like computers, marine electronics are advancing fast so a year or two old model may do what you want but be much cheeper.
