I have not used the Raymarine, so I can't compare. However, I did go the B&G route last year with 3 Triton displays and a Zeus Touch 7 on Firewater last year. I have found it very easy to use, very flexible and would recommend it to anyone looking at instruments. No connection to either company, just a satisfied user.

If I was making the purchase for my boat, I would go with the Raymarine. I have found the quality and reliability to be very good and I really like how intuitive they are to use. I used the new B&G stuff on a recent delivery and was not terribly impressed with its ease of use. And I had to resort to the manual a lot for basic functions that are straightforward on the Raymarine. Of course that could just be an operator problem.

Or if the tax system works the same in both direction between Ontario and Quebec, look at BLYacht.com (Boulet Lemelin in Quebec City, and No affiliation at all). Their pricing is almost the same as in US so you can save on the exchange rate and maybe only add 5% GST and shipping. I also took the B&G route last year. I evaluated price and feature of all the big brand, and when Navico announced the Zeus Touch, I was in love (and still in love). Ok maybe it's Valentine's day, let say I like them very much. I already had B&G Hornet 4, so I only added a Tinley Hornet-to-NMEA box to provide wind/speed data to the ZeusT and Triton. Last year, CAN and US $ where at par, so I went with Defender during their Spring sale and paid way less than any Canadian supplier. This year, I went with RadioWorld.ca for my AC12-RC42-RF300-N2K pack.
