I am going to purchase the 598 or 798 unit with HD and SI. I fish Tampa Bay and up to 30 miles offshore. I know the 798 has more options, but I cannot get a clear definition of the advantages of the 798. Can anyone tell me the big difference between the two units? From what I gather, the only difference is the expandability in the 798.

If you're going to list I-Pilot, then start listing everything ethernet ..like radar, engine nmea stuff, etc. ..

Those are super handy, for sure. I won't say I couldn't live without 'em but i'd probably wear out the "view" button a lot sooner if I didn't have them.

Yea I'm lookin forward to the ipilot link which the 5 series can't do. Plus the 5 series doesn't offer any si.

Never mind I guess the new 5hd has si? Anyway I don't see how you can see anything on those screens, but I like the multi view capabilities of the 8 and 9 series.
