Panoptix worth the $$$$?

That's true, but he specifically asked about panoptix/Livescope :)
The plus has awesome touch zoom, especially in the flasher mode with the adjustable zoom on the left side of the screen, flasher in the middle, and whole water column on the right! :)

A majority of my time spent ice fishing is jigging lakers so that is a deal breaker for me. It took a bunch of trial and error but I can mark my jig in 100 fow with the ps22.
Gunflint:
I found my livescope marked fish very well to approximately 60 feet.
Beyond that it did OK, but still marked the bottom contours well to over 100 feet.
I found that scouting the bottom contours was very useful to find structure.
I would love to have the zoom feature in a software update.

Just in case you missed it, the latest software update enables pinch-to-zoom for livescope and panoptix!
