There's been many reports of Lowrance units dying from water intrusion here, and quite a few guys bag their displays to protect them. It seems like more guys use them so that probably is why we hear about their problems more often. That said, in addition to the splashing it takes I've been hosing down my DF 6 for about 3 years now without any problems. The UI is easy to work with, and really there is not much need to mess with it. Just turn it on and it works. The biggest con has always been the size of the transducer, but I've found good solutions for all of my kayaks so for me it has never been a problem. If it dies someday, I will definitely get the new DF 7 or 9.
