Not according to Hummingbird. The bigger and most expensive unit is much more detailed because it has better imaging. The small one is OK, but it's not as good as the $2k one. I called them to talk about this before My Lowrance came in. I thought about canceling it to get the Hummingbird, but after talking to them I decided not to get the $1k one since it's only a 5" screen and it does not have them same detail or technology at the $2k one.

I don't remember the words they used, but the point of it not being the same came through loud and clear. It may have had something to do with the 3D stuff, but I really don't remember. After I decided to not get the small one, I just put that out of my mind.
