I was wondering if anyone has used one of these. I was wanting a side imaging unit but they are out of my budget. I would like to know if these would give you better knowledge of what is under the water compared to the older units.

I got one for Christmas, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I'm hoping for good things out of it.
