It's not color or the latest and greatest but is a powerful device. My $.02

Ditto that. My garmin twelve has survived so many dunkings it has gills. It's 8 years old, major condensation in the screen and keeps on ticking. It's been EOL for some time, so if I were to replace it - I'd get the 72.
You want to be sure it can directly tie into the 12v source without a voltage regualtor. My 12 does not, but the 12xl did. Batteries are expensive. Waterproof.
