Any boat I've been on with some version of side imaging either has 2 screens or we wished we did. I have it on my kayak with a single screen and even on a 9" display when I run split screens the display is small.
Humminbird synchs up with Minn Kota, which is a nice feature if you opt for Solix as you can run the motor off the screen or remote, whichever is easier at that moment.
The new version of Livescope released earlier this year is designed for deeper water and better use in saltwater.
I do a lot of work with both Garmin and Humminbird and there is a lot I like on paper from both but I have had far more hands-on experience with Humminbird. When I finally bite the bullet and get a boat it will be a very difficult decision between the two.

Thanks Toby. I feel like I need to go get my electrical engineering degree to figure it out.
