    If you look at some of the images with 2D side by side with the fish reveal .... the fish look almost identical on the reveal as they do on the 2D....but with the greater detail of the structure you get with DI.
    Yep,it pretty much looks like 2d chirp over layed on the Di screen.

    We do not have as many Lowrance pro staff as regular contributors as BBC ...

    I agree,was not really impressed with the mega the couple times I've been around one.Scanning structure is a little brighter but I can tell what it is with my lss1 because I know what I'm looking at from spending time on the water.The mega will make fish stand out better when scanning though,haven't payed much attention to the down imaging ,usually scanning when in my buddies boat.They mega would probably help a novice though,but someone who has experience and spent time on the water it wouldn't be worth the extra money to me,just my opinion.

    I dont think I really said that the way I meant to. When all settings are correct the HB Mega will blow everything else out of the water, hands down no question about it. We have had lss1 totalscan and now have lss2 3D structure scan on hds carbons. Anybody can turn them on in auto and get to it. They just work. Have never had the first bit of interference and aside from some overly complicated networking issues they work perfectly. We had gen3 hds prior to the carbons and they worked just as well, diplays weren't as sharp. We added a HB Solix 12 at the bow just for the 360. When we found out the Base model solix supported Mega DI we ordered the transducer for it(3 weeks ago). We have had issues from day 1 with the HB system. Interference being the biggest issue, even though its wired side by side with the Lowrance system.

    I dont think the HB system would be any kind of benefit to a novice. You absolutely have to know how all of it works to get the most out of it. I guarantee everyone of us has bought a fish finder at somepoint and gotten mad because the images didn't look like those on the box. I know I have. The first time I turned on that hds gen3, I filled a memory card full of screenshots because I couldnt believe it.

    Anyway sorry so long, but long story short...
    Humminbird better if you know how/when to tweak settings.
    Lowrance better for set it and forget it.
