thanks gentlemen. Did some more digging - The garmin 19x caught my eye first and have shortlisted it plus the simrad GS 25 and its identical Navico siblings (b&g, lowrance). All these are n2k as will be the network, so no multiplexing required. I note that the Garmin draws 40 ma vs an average of "<100ma" for the navicos. The navicos each have a slightly different cables included. the navicos are all $50 cheaper than the Garmin.
