I ended up with three Raymarine units, 800, 1000 and st2000+. Power drain would depend on the sensitivity setting on the unit and the conditions. The 1000 is more docile than the 2000+, but I prefer the 2000+ being connected to seatalk and remote controlled with a st6001 head. It also can be controlled by the chartplotter. Windvane would be the cruisers choice if at all possible with an autohelm as backup. Having to tend helm for many hours can be done, but you still need a little sleep now and then.
