I feel there is a "slight" DI image detail edge in the HDSI xducer rotated 60°...and, as Greg has explained over at sideimagingsoft, this is due to the piezo element in the HDSI xducer is physically longer than the piezo element in the DI xducer...(longer array = thinner beam = more detail)...

But...this setup is a going to require a lot more components to work in anything but a experimental capacity...

To have this setup and make is fishable...one would need...
*Stock XHS 9 HDSI 180 T for when the SI is needed....
*A 2nd HDSI xducer to rotate in the 60° orientation
*An extra HB xducer capable of 83/200khz for depth when the HDSI xducer is rotated 60°...
*The TS3 switch to toggle between the 2 separate xducer setups...

So...3 xducer's and a switch to make this setup work in a fishable setup...
this part is really messing with my OCD...

I'm sure there will be more experiments and testing in the coming near future...
