I believe if you put SI up there you would not want it mounted on the TM because it will blur the image when turning the TM.

If fish were suspended say 8 feet or so
Wouldn't side scan bee nice up front ?

To see those out to the side and cast to them??

I think side scan would be great up front. But in order to get a clear image you would probably want to have a mount independent of the TM. I also have not been able to tell how deep a fish is if they are out a ways from the boat.
I personally like the DI view because I don't often cast unless it is to known structure. The DI gives me a better view for the vertical fishing style. I do regularly switch the view on my front DI unit to the SI view using my SI TD (networked units) to look under barges and docs. I think that is pretty cool doing this from the front of the boat.

Although With the HB Gen 2 and an independent mount up front I would say you get it all since the Gen 2 SI also has dedicated DI.
You could probably get the best of both worlds and buy the 360. I don't have any experience with 360 though. Getting way out of my experience level here.
