I have an Humminbird 1199si at the helm to idle around searching for those spots and a 898si and Garmin 1022 w/ Livescope (that I've used once in 8 months) on the deck. They all have their place it seems but you're right about the cost for sure. From fishing with guys with the scopes that know what they're doing, it's an amazing tool to have.
