Pretty impressed with the unit, disappointed with the lack of fish that showed up on it. Really liked the 6 color palate and all the different screen configurations. The flasher dial is a little smaller than the LX-5 I am used to, but still found it easy to read. Really like the looks of the chart mode. I can see that coming in real handy in the Jon boat this spring/summer.
Mostly went with it over the LX7, b/c I did like the idea of it being a little more compact. Most likely its a little better on the battery, being it doesn't have as large of a screen and lower resolution. Being $100 less didn't hurt either.
