Anyone using one of these and have any positive or negative feedback?  Looking at this or a Marcum LX7 Lithium.  Thanks!

Fished with a buddy last week with one ... all I can say is Wow!  Total game changer.  Best use will be looking for panfish or schools of bait in walleye fishing IMO. But can't wait to take it trout fishing in northern Manitoba in April. We were walleye fishing and watched eyes by pass one jig for the hot one.  Wouldn't have seen on regular sonar.   Picked a ice bundle package for myself yesterday at Reed's.  They said having a hard time keeping in stock.  Minnesotans looking for suspended panfish are all buying them up.  My buddies was a home rigged touch screen model (from boat) the ice bundle is the cheaper button type screen. Easier for a old guy like me.  If you just walk on they are heavy big battery. But a lot less holes to drill when searching for gills and crappies.  I'll be using it next summer also for sure!
