Good to see you otw again John. John says hi, and tells me that the HDS is on sale at Anchor Express again (for WM price matching) if you decide to go that route. It really depends on what you are looking to get out of your unit. There are a ton of options like down/side scanning, GPS, Color, screen size, number of pixels etc. Each option gives you more information from your unit, but it can be like learning calculus deciphering it all. The good news is that you don't have to be fluent in FF to use the better units. The bad news is that each of those features drives the price up about $100. I have the HDS 5 and will still be learning about it a year from now.
