Ok, I'll research the color finders a bit more... but I'm still having a tough time understanding why the 3d with its 6 beams would be a bad thing. Traditional finders show anything in a single large cone below your transducer. The Matrix3d has 6 smaller cones, spread out in different directions. The return signals are analysed and you get a 3d representation of the area below your boat. Fish to the left of your boat are distringuished from those on the right etc etc. Structure is shown better in 3d.
I've dug around trying to find out whats bad about this type of system... I mean there has to be or lots of people would be using it. I dont make alot of big purchases very often so I do alot more research to hopefully get it right the first go around.

My budget is around $500 and I'll be making the purchase when the ice comes off this spring. I do appreciate everyones suggestions and tips though. I just wish there was a clear cut winner to buy.
