I also am waiting for the Echomap 93sv to be released. I have Ipilot not I-Link. I am running HB right now and will be replacing the TM HB electronics with the Garmin. I do not want to turn this into a Ipilot thing but there are features that are very handy but also annoying things like having to mess with the remote all the time....takes your hand off the rods and such to do it....a lot. The anchor lock does not like hold you on a pin point spot, it holds you in a small area.....back and forth, back and forth. I fish a windy lake so.....
I am getting the Garmin and not being able to add I-Link to is not even on the radar as a factor for me. To be honest frequently I miss a cable steer TM
