I want to know how these two units stack up. I know the sv comes pre built with side vu so let's compare it to the 70s with the side vu box add on. Also what about prices

I have had a 70DV for about 10 months. In Dec I wanted to upgrade to a Side Vu. I looked at my options of adding the black box for side view, or buying a new side view unit. I was able to buy a 70S on sale, and with some other discounts it cost me about $340. Then I added the GVC-10 for $400. So I ended up with 2 units and the black box. The 2 units are networked with the GVC-10, and I have 2D, DI, SI, map and waypoints sharing on both units. Unfortunately I haven't be able to try out the side vu yet. My research lead me to think the 70 series with the GVC-10 is superior to a new 73 series unit. The 73 is not a touch screen, and I'm not sure if they are network capable. The 70S is discontinued now, but if you can still find one and add the GVC-10 for under $1000, I think you would have a better product than the new 73 series. Like some new Humminbird's, Garmin down graded the 73 series product features to make them more affordable
