Is the preferred connectivity to a Raymarine MFD changing?

I am poised to buy a Raymarine Raynet to Ethernet cable to connect my MFD to an Octo GX as per the current documentation but a recent blog post about firmware version 2.40 in the GX suggests that connection should be made using a VE Can to NMEA 2000 cable.

Which is the preferred method to use the Victron App on the Raymarine MFD?

Hi I tested this for the first time at work 2 weeks ago and the CAN connection does not work fully, From memmory some PGNs did come through but no remote control

Ie you cant see the CCGX screen etc

using the Network connection you do get full function inc control of the ccgx BASICALLY same as Remote control, Plus another screen, showing Voltage outputs etc
