Talk to Brian @ BBG Marine. If you have questions he sells both and can give you input on both brands. He's a sponser on here.
Depth finder brands is an opinionated topic.... Just like ford vs chevy....
Both make good units....
Decide what features you want in a unit..
Ask questions about hardware needed for each unit to get the features you want...There are a few differences in hardware needed.....
Will you be connecting other units or accessories later on...??
Will you be using SI more...? DI more....?

I have the 798ci si with gold navionics card from 2009 (roughly $1200 alltogether) before they called it HD but I think its the same.They have a 2d upgrade I need to get off the site though. I like mine a lot, shows structure just like in the demos.
