As I understood it at the time I was researching theses a couple years ago, the Garmin unit was more of a solo GPS unit and then they added a black box feature so you could get a combo unit. I think the competition did drove them to do this.
Their GPS unit was slick when it first came out...but the FF unit was IMO not for the real serious angler....but it works OK form what I gathered. What you save (in terms of $) with a combo unit is not having to buy two screens and some dashboard real estate.

There are some very nice FF out there now, IMO you need to look at them yourslef and determine what you like/don't like.

IMO I would stay away from anything that draws a picture of a fish on the screen...that tells you right away it is intended for the uninformed. You want the raw sonar image, not some icon.
