I think Dan said a mouthful here:
Quote:
"If you must make the tradeoff that you described, here's a thought. 99 percent of the time, you will never notice the difference between the 2kw vs. the 4kw radar. But you will notice the difference in the screen size every time you look at it.
My experience has been that I always regret going cheap on something that I use all the time.

I would never have gone out and purchased a C-120, but I really like to use it. The radar will be effective, with either power in the 5-6 or 8 mile range that you will need. The larger screen will be easier on the eyes. I would vote for the below eye level installation, because the view and the buttons will work easier there, at least for me they do.

Flip a coin, and if you don't like the way it comes out, flip it again and go 2 out of 3. You can always go for 4 out of 7, but by then you are going to figure out which way you want it to land. Then go do it.
