I love my 1100 and think the difference in the 1150 is mainly the ability to network that the 292 cain't do. I would normally agree that furuno FF and radar can not be beat especially hardware wise but hard to dispute the science of CHIRP and the FMCW radar for close in resolution. Our DE boats never run from weather speedwise while offshore that the advantage of the longer range pulse radar has, so unless looking for birds, FMCW radar is really IMO better for my application. Holding off upgrading for now hoping Furuno comes out with chirp FF by spring since they have always owned the rep of the best FF but doubt if they will do FMCW radar. In the past Furuno rested on their success then played catch up which hurts $$$ wise because they do beat the others when they catch up. Other problem is they are all going MFD with propriety connection and networking systems and since after splitting, you only have a 6" screen, will cost a fortune to get 2 screens in order to get the big pic or even more to get two different brand single screens after getting all the connectors and module's needed. No one answer other than big $$$$$ they got us by the B???!!
