Couldn't we all !!! But, they don't exist.

I paid a little over $475 for mine, but it came with a TM mount adapter (~$20) & an extra power/tdx cord (~$80). As I understand it, the ones being sold "now" contain the TM adapter. I've also recently seen them for around $300 & change ... but were running in the $500-600 range when I bought mine (Feb 2011) from a site member.
I have never paid more than $150 for a depthfinder, in my life ... but, considering what this unit can do, that my previous 2d units cannot, I felt OK with the deal/price.

Hope you find a unit that does what you want it to do !! Just don't expect "perfection" from any of them, and you won't be so disappointed in their capabilities. Remember, the more capabilities they have, the longer the learning curve to operate them at their greatest ability. That camera photo of the screen was taken way before I learned how to "set" the unit up, and doesn't compare to the screenshots I've taken since. And believe me, I've had "better" images on the screen ... I just didn't take the time to reach down & punch buttons, to capture those images (I was paying more attention to my rods/lines, because they're what catches the fish !! )
