If you are stuck at a $200 budget, consider an eagle fishmark 320 or 480. I have had mine for a year and have been extremely pleased. I can see my baited rat finkie at 62 ft. (the deepest water I have fished) and can see a split shot at 45 ft. It also has the fast track system which gives you "real time" information like a flasher. I got the 320 on close-out but there might still be a few kicking around. The 480 is a very nice unit for the cash too. The only complaint I have had with it on the hard deck is that the first 5-7 ft. shows some interference from the ice, depending on ice thickness.
