You can save all kinds money and have no graph at all. But since you asked about the livescope, it's worth every penny. Go for it.

Will not guarantee to put fish in the box. I was on a boat with it fish were there but would not bite. Fished with it all day. Nothing but frustration. Maybe if I was fishing competition I would spend the money. But I will be saving my money & stick with DI & SI.

Since I have Helix SI Gen 3 the place where I see Live Scope to be very help full is finding fish on weed edges where sI cannot pick them out. deeper structure much quicker to search with SI just my two cents.
It is a big difference. The livescope is unbelievable when it comes to finding fish. You can actually count the number of fish you’ll see and be able to pick out the bigger fish to target. It doesn’t guarantee that you’ll catch them but it takes the guesswork out of finding them. If you’re going to fish tournaments, you’ll have to have one or you’ll be at a big disadvantage from the guys that have one. Bought mine for recreational fishing and love using it like a video game. If you can afford one, get it. If you can’t, just get a regular finder. They’ll help you find fish too. Just not in as great a detail as LS.

LiveScope is not a turn it on and find fish piece of electronics. You have to spend the time learning it and getting it set properly and then spend time learning to interpret the information on the screen. It is fairly simple to me, but I've always picked up on electronics fairly quick. It helps if you know someone that will help you and shorten the learning curve.
The cost is the most prohibitive item about the system. Before buying, make sure you have a dedicated place for the "black box" and consider battery options. I have a dedicated 31 series battery for mine. Not necessary, but I don't have to worry about another battery discharging.
If you get in a boat with someone that uses it and knows how to use it well, you will be sold on it. You cannot compare DI or SI to LS. I still use sonar to find my fish in open water or SI to find brush piles and mark them, but when it is time to put the jig in the water, I turn on the LS. I'd be glad to give you more of my thoughts or answer questions. Feel free to PM me.
