Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

Good day. Looking to make the switch to Raymarine and the Axiom line. My selection is the Axiom 9 and I would like to experience the Realvision 3D capabilities, as well as downvision and side vision. I want two units side by side to maximize viewability as my boat will not allow for one large, single screen. I really appreciate all of the different options Axiom offers but I need some guidance.

Backround:
22' Shamrock, straight inboard with full keel
12 degree deadrise at optimal transducer location
Fish in 5' to 200' for the most part
Drift/wreck and trolling

What makes the most economical sense for each MFD. Does one act as a slave to the other if I want to "share" one capability to the other. In other words do I purchase one unit with Realvision sonar, Navionics Plus and the other just a display only? And if I want to view the base model as a backup unit for navigating, should I get that with at least the Lighthouse chart option.

Components list that I think I need:
Unit 1 - E70366-00-101 (no sonar, Ligthhouse)
Unit 2 - E70367-03-nag (RV & Navionics)
RV 200 T70318 or RV 300 T70320 needed due to full keel (It's a 400.00 diff between plastic and bronze. Boat is not trailered. If you think bronze is superior, I would do that then.) Also, since I'm right at 12 degrees deadrise, is the 12 degree XDR still the way to go. And these are Chirp capable, correct?

For the two units to share screens, can I use the Raynet to Raynet cable or would I need a Seatalk backbone?

Thank you in advance for your help. I used the search function but was not able to find all the answers I needed.
