Totally agree with with this except that the Onix has equal DI now. The 98 series didn't! I bought the 360 and was very disappointed in the clarity with the 98 series. The Onix changed that I love the 360 now it is clear plus the DI is second to none.

As I mentioned earlier I have some friends in LA that tournament fish for bass. They run 1199's for Side scan and Lowrance for down imaging. One just added a bow mount 360 to run with his bird. I informed him that I wasn't happy with the 360 on the 98 series. I hope it is clearer on the 99's! Maybe they have made updates to clear things up now.
