Here’s a comparison I did back in 2021 when I was buying one for what it’s worth. I heard recently that the Simrad GO series is no longer being manufactured, so those remaining are at a discount price. I wound up with the GO9 as they had a sale that brought the price down to on par with other 7” screens – if you can wait, there are savings of a couple hundred to be had by waiting for a sale. I’ve been happy with the GO9 – easy to import waypoints and tracks. Nice having two card slots – one for Standard map and one for your own data – although can be a pain to access on the rear of the unit if you flush mount on a center console. It’s possible to upload your own satellite imagery as well if you spend time on the computer putting it together.
I’d suggest a similar comparison of currently available models will make your preference clear quickly.
