Humminbird vs. Lowrance SI units

[JUSTINHALL]

You basically said it yourself, the Lowrance is a better unit, more detail and more features but reliability is not there. You may get a good one and not have an issue, but if not it takes a while to get it back. I have looked at both and Lowrance tops it in clarity but knowing that it may have an issue I am keeping my Raymarine C120 mounted so If I do have an issue I still have a good finder. If I did not have a good back up I would think harder about the HBird. I have seen the Lowrance in action it's very nice.
Question you have to answer for yourself is, do you want the best or most reliable?

Humminbird Customer service is awesome. I had a bad transducer on one of my units and I called CS and in 5 minutes I had a new transducer on the way....no questions asked.

Humminbird. May not have hardly as good of clarity some say, but you can adjust them & get extremely nice quality images. Humminbirds are very user friendly when it comes to operating them & the customer service is absolutley top notch.
