I've had my Showdown for about 8 years and I've never had a problem and I love it. It's very straightforward and easy to read. I have replaced three batteries but they are only around $18.00 for a 9Ah.
I made a PVC stand for mine ala TD and it works to keep the unit up at nearly eye level so I don't have to look down at it. It's also off the hard neck and doesn't get snow and ice on it.
If you buy a used one, make sure you inspect it thoroughly and insure that all functions work properly. It might be difficult to check one out if you're not out on the water.
I thought you looked at mine when we were at Strawberry late last ice season. Several in my group have the Showdown and we all agree it's the way to go.
Remember, "Flashers" can cause Whirling disease. [
