I would like to share with you my 2 cents. First of all I have had a marcum 5 and I was not happy with it and a month later sold it on ebay. Then I went and bought the FL20 Vexlar and have loved it ever since. I do own an Fl 18 Vexlar that I bring along for partners or my sons. The things i like about the 20 over the 18 are: the duel cone is a must for fishing perch in 50-65 feet. The face screen is flush on it. Which means when it is snowing sideways it won't accumulate and block your view. It has a daylight and a nightlight which makes it brighter to see during sunny days. If I was to do it again I would buy another FL20. Just a tip if you do get one a three gallon frosting bucket works excellant for storing and transporting your vexlar. I fished today and i caught 5 rainbows, 1 brown, and 2 perch. I would say that if it wasn't for the vexlar I would have only caught 1 of these fish. So the real benefit is you can tease the fish into striking. It is quite fun for the challenge. I would estimate that it has increased my catch rate 7 to 1. Give me a report on what you buy and how you like it.
