Raymarine Dragonfly - Any Good?

At the moment I have been contemplating the purchase of a GPS unit for my boat. I am using a Garmin Oregon 400C which for what it is, is amazing. But the problems that I have are the screen is very small, it is almost impossible to read in any kind of sun light etc. I don't think I would leave home with out it, but would prefer it being a back up unit.

I was looking at the Garmin GPSMap451 or 551 as they use the BlueChart maps and are preloaded. This would be much easier as I have a Garmin unit already. The Lowrance units, you have to purchase the charts and I think this is a bit of a nonsense or a rip off.

So in my search, I found this unit http://www.raymarine.com/view/?id=6854 and wonder what people think of Raymarine or if they have had any experience with this particular unit. I have a sounder on the boat which is the business, but I do like the idea of the CHIRP Downvision. It also comes loaded with the Navionics Gold maps.

Any feedback would be welcome.

Yakabe.
