Well i have one, and before i got one i was in the same boat as you. But when i got one i realized its not as easy as it seems. Theres actually a HUGE learning curve that goes with it, and it takes a while to learn what you need to be looking for with it. And its time consuming using it, you have to idle just perfectly parallel to the structure to get a a good picture of whats down there, if you mess up, you have to go back and do it again. You could have probably already fished that spot and figured out where the sweet spot was in the same amout of time. Its cool to see whats down there, but its a time consuming ordeal and half the stuff you see on there that you think will hold fish.. doesnt. I can honestly say i still havnt found a jackpot spot with it. I've found areas and then later went back and saw why that spot was good, but you really have to be dialed in with it to have a clear advantage.. and most people who have one probably arnt that great with it.. including me. I hope that i am that good with it, but if i ever am, i dont think i need to feel bad about it at all. I believe i will have earned it with the work i put into learning those electronics.
