I like time tested reliability as much as the next guy but I have to say the detail that the new side scanning units provide is a serious motivator. I would love to see witch boulders in my favorite spots hold fish better. or weather it's a wreck or a sand bar. The only thing preventing me from getting one is the price. The cheapest side scan sonar out there starts at $1000 on up to $5000. I too am in the market for a new FF but I have decided to save up my money and hold out till the end of the season. hopefully by then the prices will have dropped a bit and I'll have a bit more money in the budget for the one I want (currently $1999.99)
That's just my thoughts. Go to a good shop and get a close up look at both types. A web site is not the best place to decide how to spend that much money.
