High def transducer for hb 899

[Crappiehabits]

Is the high def transducer worth the money? Does anyone prefer 455 over 800? I'm looking for pros and cons because I'm thinking about upgrading to the hi def ducer. Thanks!

I'll let you decide ...

I use 455kHz for finding new structure out to the sides of the displayed image ...

I use 800kHz for scanning closer to the boat because of the extra detail in the 800kHz image ...

That's a cool pic. Do you have any comparisons of the two in di?

As the DI in the HB SI units is a computer generated DI image from the SI data ... I don't use the HB "DI from SI" very often ... ("DI from SI" just doesn't compare to dedicated DI) ...

Maybe someone else has some HB "DI from SI" comparisons they could share ...

I didn't realize they had the exchange program until months after I got the unit and installed everything so i can't exchange it now. I've been kicking myself since I found out.
