Lowrance hook or elite ti

So then is there an advantage to getting an elite ti over hook? Without the Side scan, hook and ti basically the same? Confused
Thanks!

Essentially they have the same functionality transducer-wise, but the user interface on the touch screen is TOTALLY the game changer. You can configure multi screen displays and navigate the chartplotter very easily, and its also much faster to adjust the sonar settings with the touch screen. Ti also has a bitchin WIFI router, through which I sync my iPhone to the device. That's how I get the hi-res screen shots. You can also down load bathymetric charts to the GPS through the cellular network using your phone.

Down side is that it does eat up your battery faster. I had to scale up to a 12aH 12v to run my 7Ti all day.
