You are right. That is a great price.

I have an Elite Ti. It's Lowrance's Gen 3 unit with a new name and some wireless features added.

Instead of buying another unit to go in the back, I downloaded Lowrance's app onto my tablet and control the unit from it while running the outboard. It's an older Android Tablet that I bought new for $200, and it's got a 12" screen. Heckuva lot cheaper than buying another unit.

I like Lowrance/Navico because I can use their units and filetypes in just about any 3rd party mapping software. They are much more flexible in custom mapping options and features. For 99% of people, this is a feature that they have absolutely no need/interest/capability in.

Other than that, I would go with Humminbird. My Ti has some issues with shorting out at the power plug. I have the problem fixed for now, but it will pop up again- probably right when I need it the most. And since Lowrance's customer service & support is world class (this assumes the world I speak of is the septic tank of an ISIS slave camp), I will continue to put off calling them until I'm at the end of my string.

I have Lowrance Hds7 gen 2. They are 3 years old. I have the one up front tied to the one on my console. They are tied together with Ethernet cable. I can mark a spot while idling and go back to it with my trolling motor. It will already be on my bow mounted unit when I start searching for it. They are great units.
My uncle bought two Garmin and they are very user friendly.
All I can say is get a SI unit of some kind. They are the best tool I have found for searching brush piles. You can determine if there are fish in them if not move on to the next brush. Saves a lot of wasted time fishing brush with just one or two crappie in it.
