I too am a vex fan boy. I haven't used any of the others so I can't give an opinion on them. As to the comment about flasher having 70 year old out dated technology... that is not true. Vex has made a number of changes over the years, (the latest being the 28 series), and in my opinion, leads the way in flasher technology, but that is another chevy ford debate. Regarding the question about multiple fish coming in and what is seen... You see a separate line for every fish. Sometimes the number of fish can be so thick and so many that the whole screen at the depth they are suspended is solid red. Normally though I see a line for every fish. As mentioned, you pay for a Vex, but then again, they last forever. Very solid piece of equipment. As also mentioned, flashers can be used for boat fishing, but they are really made for ice and are the cats meow when ice fishing. Round screen vs flat vertical screen... they all work the same, just a matter of what you get used to or like. Color vs black and white... no question in my mind, color all the way. Best thing to do is hookup with someone who has a sonar unit and go fish with them to see how they work. I tend to think they all work, just a matter of choice what you end up with. Any beat blind fishing.
