Garmin is the way to go in a GPS, I would not consider anything else.
Hey just my humble opinion, but to go out and spend $1500 on a latest/greatest GPS is throwing $$ away, especially if you are on a budget.
A decent 10 year old model for < $200 on ebay, and by that I mean anything that supports WAAS and the original bluecharts, is just as good for navigation in all practical terms as a brand new one. Color even doesn't buy you any benefit in a GPS unless you are going to use the display for radar or sonar.
What are you upgrading from? My recommendation is to go on ebay, type in "Garmin Marine GPS" and look through the results for something that meets your criteria that is a model 2-5 years old. Usually you can find really nice stuff refurb with a warranty for like 25% of the cost of new.
