I have the Ice 55 and Showdown Troller 2.0 and let 3 people completely new to flashers try both and they all said without a doubt that they liked the Ice 55 better. Reading vertically vs in a circle is a non-issue in my (and their) opinion, but what did make the difference was the colors. However, the troller is quite small as compared to the Showdown 5.6 so it's not the exact comparison you're looking for.
For me, if money isn't a factor, between the Ice 55 and the Showdown, I'd go with the Ice 55. When you throw in the Marcum LX5, I believe the Humminbird is going to have a better display and more features, but I'll admit there is something to be said for the Marcum name as compared to the Humminbird (for flashers).
