Anyone use the marcum showdown's for ice fishing?

I have a Showdown ice troller. I liked it at first, and I still think it is a useful unit, but I sure wouldn't buy it again knowing what I know now. The quality is substandard, IMHO. What I'm currently using is the Lowrance Elite 4x ice machine and in my opinion is far superior and well worth the extra money. I personally like it much better than a rotary. Two of my friends I fish with often have the older rotary style flashers. One wouldn't change, the other prefers the vertical display like mine. To each their own.

I've been ice fishing for over 25 years, but have only been using a flasher for about 5 years.
