Humminbird 859ci HD DI Combo vs lowrance elite 7 hdi

 

Anyone have any experience with either of these units?

 

 

I am asking the same question . What are your thoughts on the two units? Here is a link that I found to be helpful, though I am still on the fence.

I would suggest going to a sporting goods store or a marine dealer that has them both on display a taking a look at each. You'll want to ask for a demo of both so you can see the unique features of both. They are pretty close to the same unit just from different companies, but some of the features might appeal more to you than someone else. Think about those that you think you'll use and those that you won't and then make the purchase that makes sense to you.
