I agree that you should get the best unit that you can afford, but I dont think a 998 is in your price range. A good used one maybe. You will just be disappointed with the smaller units, particularly if you are looking for side imaging. It is nearly impossible to make anything out on the smaller screen. I would recommend Lowrance over Himmingbird. Much better units in my opinion. Clearer di and si images, and overall better features and functions. And no, they are not "easy" to use, but you will get the hang of it, and after a while, you wont know how you ever got along without it. Check out the electronics forum on here and read up on it. It will also help to go with someone that has one and can show you a few things. Good luck!
