Mine is the LX-9.
Target separation is an important quality that helps you know when to set the hook especially when fish rise up to take the lure. The ShowDown 5.6 has better than most and the same (1/2") as mine at a fraction of the price.
Now that we're talking finders, I have a related question for our group.
I'd like to choose a reservoir to ice fish that let's me really appreciate the power and video of mine. For example, I learned it's not Strawberry as the bottom looks the same everywhere I looked. It's devoid of structure. I want to use sonar to find structure and transitions and use the video to actually see what the blobs of color would be telling me, IF I had the experience to convert the abstract art into meaning in my mind. With the video, I will learn and that was the main reason for me to get that feature. An example was an underwater tree with fish swimming among the branches. I didn't have a clue until I put the camera down, but now I'll know how to recognize it in abstract art. I also ended up fishing shallow on most all of my ice fishing, but next time I would like to fish deeper where the power and resolution will give me advantages to try out. In short, which reservoirs have depth and structure for me to explore? Of course, fish would be nice, too [
