Lowrance vs. Garmin

Has anybody had experience with both the Garmin 295/296 or 495/496 and the Lowrance airmap 2000c?

From what I'm able to find on the net, the Garmin seems to offer more flexibility, and more Australian specific charts.

On the other hand, the Lowrance seems like a potentially good unit (if you're in the US), at a good price.

I'd like to lean towards the Lowrance (my pockets aren't deep), but the Garmin seems like a better option for Oz.

Any ideas?
