Tough call (welcome to S-B by the way). Both units are brandy spankin' new. The screen refreshes on the typical Lowrances I've seen is pretty stinkin fast - certainlky fastest I've seen in its class. The 178 is the baby brother of the 188C which a lot of people are happy with. Both units are not likely to have as good of a sounder as say a Furuno. But have more current & faster screen and lcd engines.
I don't think you could go wrong either way. If it were me I might decide by which has better mapping/chart software
