Andy, Joel is correct about the touch screen on the e7. When it works (which is most of the time), it’s great, including the zooming and shrinking with two fingers. But even normal daysailing in a good wind (not just sailing to Bermuda), my fingers were wet enough that I could not get a good response by touching. So it was very helpful to have the joystick in those cases. Worth the extra price. Other than that, the Admiral and I really like the e7 (bought last spring).
