Garmin 3010c with 18\" Garmin radar need advice

A friend has got a Channel Island 22 and is considering buying a Garmin 3010c chart plotter (10") with intergrated Garmin radar (18"). Is this a good set up? Any problems? It looks like a good deal (£1,750) is it? Views welcome.

How does GPS map compare with C-map?

I have the same plotter but with a stand-alone radar. I like the plotter: it's a good screen which runs charts that look like charts and which can be worked on on a pc and downloaded onto the plotter's card.

Personally I wouldn't want either to reduce the screen size or keep swapping between views to see the plotter and the radar and would prefer to have a dedicated screen for each.

Have this setup and brilliant, especially radar overlay. Fitted under sprayhood so can be seen from helm.
