I have a HDS-8 and love it. I have seen the new
Humminbird's sonar and believe it is not even comparable with Lowrance's. The only advantage Humminbird has right now is the SI factor, but i believe that is soon going to change. Also, the HDS enternal antenna has not lost me once and is extreamely accurate. The navionics card is a bummer, but that upgrade is suppose to come out tomorrow. Can't wait to see what it looks like!
