I ended getting the Raymarine Dragonfly 5 with chirp tech. and I couldn't be happier. It is by far the easiest unit I have owned. The picture is beatiful. unbelievable detail. And the tranducer fits in the lowrance ready spot on my PA perfectly. I posted some pictures of the transd. install on another blog here on BWE if you are interested in it.
