Humminbird Helix 5 or Garmin Echo 551dv anyone using these?

[619-SWIM-DOG]

Well I've been on a search for a long time for a new fish finder. I've looked at everything from lowrance to dragonfly and Hbirds. I really don't care to spend more then $400. Anything I get will be an improvement I'm tired of looking at different size cookie cutter fish on my finder. I have a 15% off code at Austin kayaks and was looking at this one.

I also found this on amazon

If you run a Hbirds Helix 5 or Garmin echo 551dv I'd like to hear your thoughts on the unit.

Thanks

With the recent discovery of the Dragonfly 4 coming out for $300, I think that's where most guys are going to go now.

My wife better get that for my Bday next month, and not more socks and underwear like Christmas!!
