I am perplexed. Last year I bought a raymarine dragonfly 6 with the navionics gold maps because it seemed to be the best value in its price range ($550). Now this year I see that they have introduced the a68 which has all the same options as the dragonfly (screen size, chirp sonar and downvision, GPS, etc.) plus additional options like networking, WiFi, touch screen, and more. The perplexing part is that the a68 is coming in at $100 less than than the dragonfly. Am I missing something? Is the a68 proving to be a big turd or are they simply trying to get them out into the market?
