Humminbird makes some great units, I hate their cheesy power cable though. For that reason alone I would go with lowrance.

This is going to be a landslide in favor of the HDS.

HDS, but then you have to buy that PA 12 that it fits in.

Frank
Take your time in choosing a FF , Go check some out and play with them .. I've had the Hds 5 for over a year now ,I went with the hds because there were no better FF for the price at that time I purchased mine . For the same Price range as the Hds and the HB I would also consider the Raymarine A series . Take a look at the A50D or the A57D ... Good luck. |

If you want the best FF/GPS combo, the HDS-5's detail is ridiculous and the "Trackback" feature is awesome. If you are looking for an affordable all-in-one (FF/GPS/Down Imaging), then the 597CI HD DI is for you.

Is the hds5 the cream of the crop for non-DI, while the Hummingbird is the bottom shelf of the DI units?
I'm trying to pick between the two myself(to help narrow the field). I think I'd rather have the best of one type vs the budget version of another... The reviews I've found online haven't swayed me one way or the other, half of the time people want to justify their purchase so they BS their review.
