Lowrance Elite Ti or HDS Gen 3

[jyu87]

It's hard to beat the price tag of the new Elite Ti units with the understanding that they are not going to do certain things the HDS' can. Any of you folks get the Elite Ti's and regret not going straight to the HDS Gen 3 or vice versa? 

 

I'm looking for a bow mount unit around 9-12"; wondering if when the new HDS Carbon series comes out the HDS Gen 3 tag will go down?

Just an FYI 'SolarMax' pertains only to the new touch screens.

The new Humminbird Mega Imaging also got me thinking. For some reason, I just don't like the setup of the Humminbirds and user experience. No touch screen; can't mark a spot on the fly like you can on the touch screens, especially when you're running side imaging and see a bunch of stumps and want to tag them quickly.

When the new Humminbird SOLIX units come out in March you can do all that including MEGA Imaging--12" and 15" touch screens.

Wayne, in your opinion, does the Mega Imaging set Hummingbird's side scan above Lowrance's TotalScan?  ... I know this is my first post, but I'm a LONG time lurker and I'm very close to purchasing a fish finder.

Wayne, 

 

Do you know if they are going to be bringing out something in the 8-10 inch screen size?
