P70 vs P70s

[Dan_Y]

Gary - in addition to what Chuck said I was puzzled by the difference too because some EV-100 auto pilot packages are priced a little more with the p70s versus the p70. The main differences I found between the two looking through the specs on the Raymarine site are:

The p70s has a max luminance (brightness) of 1100 nits (1 nit = 1 cd/m2) versus 700 for the p70. Better visibility with bimini down on a sunny day!

Keying off of one of Chuck’s recent and insightful posts about going for full NEMA 2K cert on new products, and if I read the specs correctly, the p70 has two STng and one ST1 ports on the back in contrast to the newer p70s, which appears to have a single STng and a ST1. The single STng port on the NEMA 2K cert'ed p70s prevents daisy chaining of NEMA 2K instruments, i.e. only one instrument per spur per Chuck's post.
