Hi guys
I'll be a new Garmin owner soon (hopefully a happy convert) and I'm trying to decide between the two.
Other than different sized screens, what are the major differences between the two.
Thanks!

the 721 has no mapping and the 840 is preloaded with us coastal and lakevu mapping.
the 721's have 2 network ports vs. 1 on the 840 and the 721's are capable of video input.
the screen is a little bigger on the 840.
I really like my 840XS and also have 70dv touchscreen. I don't have a preference one over the other, button vs touch screen. Also, I know 70dv doesn't have the feature near like the 721 but operationally just wanted to share my perspective if that is a differentiator.
Dont foeget neither comes with a transducer and neither has sideVu.
Get a 73 or 93 unless you really need/want the chirp.
