Good point about the Humminbird. I have a similar model on my 14 foot boat. (Humminbird Matrix 37) The primary difference between the 'Bird and the Buddy is that the 'Bird shoots downward in a very wide cone (60 degrees if I recall correctly). The Buddy (now made by Humminbird, BTW) shoots out to the side and monitors the top few feet of water near the surface. Different tools for different jobs. Both very adequate, each for its intended purpose.
