Thread: DSI and Mark 5x? Or go with HB?

Finally going to pull the trigger on a down imaging unit this summer.
I'm still on the fence between the Elite 5x DSI and the HB 596 HD DI.
Not interested in GPS, Ive got a handheld that is much more accurate, and allows me to take my way points with me in my buddies boats.

I'm having trouble deciding on a setup. I want to have DI and regular sonar, so the choice seemed obvious: the humminbird. Then I realized I could get an Elite 5x DSI and a Mark 5x for the same price as the HB (the DSI is on sale for 400).
This would avoid splitting a small 5 inch screen, and would allow 5 inches dedicated to both down imaging and sonar. It'd be nice to have a full 10 inches of screen to look at. I've got the room on the console, and it might look pretty bad ram mounted side by side.
I don't mind the install or power consumption.

Anyone have any input on this? Are the scrolls speeds similar on Mark and Elite DSI units?

Any reason I should be going with the HB? I know the HB has more pixels, which is sort of tempting...

Thanks
