What a great site. This is my first post. I have been looking at electronic discussions for a week or so and am absolutely overwhelmed with what is out there. I am going to upgrade very soon from a Lowrance 4 dsi that is just too small form my old eyes. I really like the idea of touch screen though I am open to all suggestions. Sort of have down to these 2 models (yeah I know the helix is not touch screen). Please help me decide. I am so new to all this. Thanks.
