How did you feel in the vantage chair?
I just picked up an Elite-7 TI, was thinking of picking up another for backup and the Revo 11, was pondering a 5" (Which ducer you using?). But,really, it's not a whole lot bigger than the 5", all your adding is that 2 inches to size which can make a big difference in viewing split screen. But, hey, fish finders don't catch fish.
Enjoy,
My experience with the 7" models, they are bulky and not really necessary, put my Elite 7 Chirp on my boat and got a Elite 5 Chirp for the yak. Much nicer.

Thank you for clear out my temptation to upgrade to 7"...
5" is just fine ...

It not only has to do with money, but your age, eyesight and distance of mounting location on your kayak. Mount it farther away and age over 40, then you NEED the 7". HA Ha Ha, I know!
