I opted so save a couple hundred and get the 41. So far have not seen any need for the features of the 42 like sentence filtering, etc.
(I have st60+'s a garmin plotter/sounder and a milltech AIS all talking to macENC via bluetooth.
It's a pretty straightforward process, you hook up the seatalk cables, pair the bluetooth and then use the little configure app from gpsnavx to setup the multiplexer to reed seatalk on one port NMEA on the other and the AIS on the serial port.
It's sort of easier to answer specific problems than a general question like this. IS there anything in the 42 you think you might need now or in the future?
