Garmin Striker 4/Humminbird 197c thoughts

I know that most of the threads here deal with much more advanced electronics. However, I only take my boat out 6-8 times a year, have a house full of kids, and a stay at home wife. So until I retire or get all the kids out of the house I just can't justify spending much at all on electronics. Now that I've converted to crappie fishing almost exclusively, I would like to upgrade over the 35 year old flasher I have mounted on my TM. My dad has the little Humminbird 197c on the front of his old boat and I was impressed with how well it worked the last couple of times I've gone out with him. While looking at it online I ran across the Garmin Striker 4 for $100 on Amazon. Yes, its got a little bitty display, but it looks pretty clear and I like that it gives water temp and trolling speed. See, I'm easily impressed after being used to nothing but the old flasher. :) Any thoughts on on a new depthfinder considering my or a similar situation would be appreciated. Thanks!

At that price point I'd go for the Lowrance Hook2 4x. The landscape display is more useful. Plus it has basic maps.

Either will work . Given good eyes and lack of gps (maps) most 3/4 inch are very similar in ability .
