I would recommend that you get whatever you can afford

I'm having trouble getting my head around touch screen technology anywhere but inside a pilot house. I have enough problem keeping splashing water and fish slime off my screen without having to touch it with my bloody hands. Maybe I'm just to anal about keeping my screen clean.

I went with the Garmin SV 7, it doesn't have a touch screen but it has simple controls to get around. What I don't like is the connections on the back of the unit, they don't go in easy and if they aren't in good you don't get signals. I know the plugs need to be tight in this environment but these are ridiculous
