I have the Vex FL 12 I really like it, but if I were to buy again I would either spend less and get the FL 8, or spend a little more and get the FL 18 for the bottom zoom. Something with a two or three angle transducer would be great also. The 12 has no more features than the 8, just a bigger face and different knob arrangement. But man the Humminbird machines are very nice, I have been considering getting the 45 because it has auto depth adjustment and a dual beam transducer and a bottom zoom and lock, plus.the display is very easy to see even in bright light. But on the other hand there is more to go wrong, and you can't beat the reliability of the Vex.
