I fish shallow alot and the advantages of the LX series Marcums leave even the high end Vex's in the dust.... Ability to see through weeds, the ability to have super fine lines to tell size and quantity of fish, in water over 10' the zoom is always on to increase the seperation to pick up bottom hugging eyes/perch, things no Vex has the ability to do....I have owned 18's, 8's and used the 12-20 and 22's all alongside my LX's and none have have come close to the Marcums...Now with the new digital units Marcums raised the bar even further... Sure a Vex works and better than nothing but theres many better units out there made by others at a lower price point for more options and better performance...Would you pay more for a brand new 1990 pickup or less for a new 2013 one?

Hands down, Marcum is better. You cannot go wrong with the Vx-1 pro, Lx-3,Lx-5 or the big boys.... Lx6,Lx7 or even the Lx9 Check out Marcum's website. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!!!!!!
