If the Onix could have been networked to the 898 I already had, would of got it no question, but I am more than happy with the 1199. I got it at the helm and the 898 back by the motor since I mostly longline. They are networked and share the 1 transducer and it all works great. It's interesting being able to play with the output on 2 different units and see the picture comparison.

I would suggest putting the 1199 wherever you would get most face time with it.
