I will tell u what I just bought. I got a lowrance touch 9 at console and an elite 7 at the bow. I am extremely pleased and don't see how I could do any better. Got the elite because I didn't want the SI up front where I am fishing. I would look like a drunken boater if I could see beside me while fishing. Just my opinion but it is going to be a great set up once I figure out how to use it
