Topic: 898c hd si verus 998c si

[Pappy]

I need some help on my selection, I have found a left over 998c si for 1300
or I can buy the new 898c hd si for the same price, would the extra 1" size
out way hd or should I go with the hd screen

 I'm not sure if the HD would be good enough to sway me from a bigger screen. My vote bigger screen At 1300 does that include the transducer? Because if it doesn't those si transdusers don't come cheap by any stretch of the imagination. $300?

Tough call...  In the end I am fairy sure I would go for HD verse bigger.  Though the screen is smaller on my 798 that I have on the bow I can see so much more than I can on my 898 that is on the console purely due to the 798 being LED backlit.  IMO LED backliting makes a HUGE difference and worth it.

Think I would go with the HD also.
