When you really think about it, no matter what we buy, there will always be something better right around the corner. The way I see it, if I keep waiting for something better, I'll never buy anything. Lowrance will release theirs, then HB will work to top it, then Lowrance to top HB, and so on and so on. I know guys who have the HB SI and are very happy with it and use them to catch a lot of fish. Just gonna buy mine and, like Chaunc said, enjoy it to the fullest extent of what it will do for me. Not to mention with the $$$ I might save with the HB, I can afford the upgraded GPS puck if need be. I'm sure those who buy the Lowrance when it does come out will love it. They always put out a great product. I just can't wait any longer. The Joneses are pulling away and I gotta try to keep up:D.
