I would check out the pricing at J&H Products. They currently are carrying the new 798, the 997, and 1197 with what looks like good pricing. The big question you will have to answer is how big a display screen is big enough.

To decide which one you may want to talk with others and try to go by somewhere like Bass Pro Shops or Cabelas so you can see the display sizes and play with the menus.
