Thread: Humminbird vs. Lowrance...The way I see it.

There is some drop off in images between the HDS and the Elite 7 HDI Hobo, I have seen both, yes the HDS is better but not overwhelmingly. The HDS will cost more than double of what an Elite 7 HDI will, it is more powerful but has a powerful price tag as well. When I bought the Elite 7 HDI the new Birds were not in the stores yet. I can't wait to get on the boat with someone and see them in action. Hey, if it works I will use it regardless of brand. I like Lowrance, but I would own a Bird as well. The Lowrance HDS units do produce some the best down scan images around.
