Good question. After research felt it the best for my wants and appeared to be the most used on small boats. Main want was simple to operate. I looked at both on YouTube and Raymarine was overkill for my want and I read it was noise in operation. Where I forget but I remember watching it on YouTube and it was noisy. On Amazon where I bought mine Raymarine is only $10 more than Simrad. I wanted nothing wireless. I’ll give a report on it after it is installed which will be about mid May.

My reason is I only sail singlehanded and it will be a big assist for me. Had a 33’ with auto pilot and always sailed it alone. Little experience with my M17 and now use a Tiller Tamer but still a hand full with any wind. Need more assistance. Won’t use age as a excuse.
