Default Blue Chart chip vs CD.

Captain Roger ,, when are you leaving for the Canada tour, cruise? I got to
thinking last night ... ???? Maybe I will join up and form a fleet.

I'm buying a Garmin 76Cx that takes the MicroSD preloaded chips. Any
pro's, cons, or opinons to buying the Canadian charts I'll need on CD vs
chips?

I'll also be buying paper for backup and trip planning. I won't have a
laptop on the boat where I'll be using the GPS display and charts together
(no comments on that please, it's another issue altogether).

Any good reason in that scenario to go with the CD instead of the
convienience of just sticking a chips in?
