Really, does it matter if it's a vex or a marcum, or a humminbird? Does it really matter if it's a flasher or a good lcd? They all show fish. After you see them of the sonar, you watch your line for the bite indication. It cracks me up how big of a deal we make of all of this! BTW, I own a Marcum LX-5 and have owned several high end sonars; currently an LCX-27c, that have been rigged for the ice and they all show the same stuff. I prefer the LCD in deeper water though I've used the Marcum to fish deep water macks also. Definitely not as good in my opinion.
I see someone said it's an advantage on the flasher to see your swivel. You can't see it on an LCD? I can see a double uni knot that ties my leader to my main line with the LCX-27c. How much more do you need to see?
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the upper end units. Buy as much as you can afford because you definitely get what you pay for. Fish them all and then decide.
