HDS5 gen2 vs Elite5 CHIRP... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ok. Just talked to a Lowrance rep and he informed me that as previously stated by most responses on here, the. HDS series is top of the line. However the HDS5 is now discontinued. And that for a single stand alone unit (no radar, 2nd unit, side scanning sonar, etc - the Elite 5 chrip model does everything that the HDS5 will do. Same resolution, same over lay abilities, amount of way points, Bck tracking ability.

Am I missing something?

So, I'm still on the fence - which way to go. Kinda leaning towards the Elite now. $200 less and with that I can get the best chip out there. Which brings me to another question 'what chip do you guys use in your systems'?
