I didn't get SI (side imaging) on my last finder and now I'm wanting a new finder... SI is a great help if you chase wiper on Willard, you need to find where those fish and the walleye are hanging out and when there are so many miles of uniform terrain it's very hard to locate where the fish are hanging out and the SI will let you do that... If you don't have a little help like that, you are stuck hoping for luck to cross the schools... At least the SI gives you a wide swath that you are checking instead of a boat width... So I'd recommend that feature for sure... As far as which brand, I haven't tried the Garmin, but have heard good about them as well as the Helix... If you run a Minnkota electric motor the Helix will interface with the motor (features like spot lock and trolling profiles & etc)... Not sure the Garmin can do this... One last thing, you should take liketrolling up on the offer, you'll have a treat from being taught from one of the best... Later J
