    Default Advice/ What would you do....Fish Finder


    I can get a helix 9 SI Mega or a Helix 12 chirp SI gen 1 for the same price.....Torn on which one I should get? I know the mega has awesome new technology but would I rather go gen 1 and get bigger screen?

    Nice problem to have. Wish I could help you but I'm not near up-to-date on the electronics.

    From what i hear folks are wanting the mega.....hard decision. I would probably go mega...a 9 inch screen is really not too small.

    Go with someone that has both and see which one you like better.Ive been around both and i would take the bigger screen for the way i fish.I bet 90% would say the gen 2 though.

    Big decision there. If I were you I would go to the nearest big box store(Bass Pro, Cabela's, etc.) and check it out first hand with their display models.
    Be safe and good luck fishing

    MEGA will add dedicated DI, CHIRP imaging, MEGA 1200kHz imaging, and longer update life ...
