Stripernut is correct, it is a matter of preference. I prefer Lowrance, the pixels are sharper on the color units. Their new units have a structure scan overlay feature of the gps side. another key is to get a good sd chip like navionics to show contours. Good suggestion from Mountain man, Bass Pro has both units and you can compare feature, cost, etc. The hardest decision may be deciding exactly whay you want for the price range you want to spend for the time on the water (unless you have no limitations. The new 12 inch lowrance has it all for $3400 but for an occasional fisherman it may be a little pricey. Since I fish multiple days a week and also guide for stripers, if you can't find em, you usually can't catch em but that is no guarantee, it is still fishing not catching. Good luck.
