I have both as well. I have been using my Marcum LX-5 for ice for years. I was absolutely sold on that until last year when we were fishing the really deep water at the gorge for the big macks. I fished side by side with a good Humminbird graph. At deeper depths, there was definitely more detail on the graph. And with the RTS window on the right, it was just as real time as my flasher. I think the increased power of the graph made for a better display. When i increased the gain on the flasher to get more detail in deeper water, it just resulted in more interference when I was about at 70ft or deeper. I now have a Hb as well. I exclusively use the flasher for all waters except the deeper water at the Gorge. They both have their advantages in my opinion. I wouldn't give up either. Just my opinion.
