I'm trying to determine which to purchase - Lowrance or Humminbird. Which is the best - humminbird's side imaging or Lowrance's HDS. I'm willing to spend about 900 and want to get the most for my dollars.

Appreciate the help!
You should avoid Lowrance like it is the plague. I paid $700 for a gps depthfinder combo last April. It worked 2 weeks before the depth finder went kaput. Sent it back the 1st of June. Things got fouled up at the repair shop and they say they sent it out in Aug. They have been promising me a new unit for 3 months now, and I'm still without one. It has not been entirely their fault, A2o is in there too, but that's another story. Bottom line is I will never own a Lowrance product again. Buy Hummingbird, I know I will from now on!!!!
