    That is an awkward price to work with. You are limiting yourself to making a number of compromises. $400 will get you a 5" screen, color, GPS or a memory slot. Pick two. Lowrance has a compact color unit with GPS (M68c, $299 @ BPS) but it is a compact and lacks a memory slot. Color is a definite plus. You might think about buying a compact now with the thought of relocating it later after investing in a larger helm unit. (I assume the initial install would be at the helm station) You should have GPS at the helm if possible. If you would like to discuss this further, drop me a PM (just click on the envelope above your post total) Tom
