I have the 130 and I like it a lot. It's not extremely detailed like the high dollar sonars are, but it gives you the basics (Depth, Temp, Structure). The good things I have noticed is the 6 AA batteries will last a long time before you have to change them. It's easy to read and see even on the brightest days. My 130 has a backlight so I can use it at night (not sure if the 120 does). One of the big things I don't like is the display/tranducer pole will pop up out of the bracket if you are going to fast in the boat. All in all I thought it was a good basic unit to have. Also, "Side Looking" is not the same as "Side Imaging". The Side Looking on the fishin buddy only shows possible fish on the side of the boat the tranducer is pointed towards. It dosen't show any kind of Side Imaging structure. I have read reviews about people thinking HB was being misleading about the Side Looking vs Side Imaging.
