Subject: Re: 998 vs 999

the 999 also has a brighter screen with better contrast and visibility in bright/sunny conditions.

i don't think the differences are enough to go out and upgrade from 998 to 999, but when purchasing new i think it's worth going with the better units for that relatively modest price difference. Humminbird is offering very nice rebates on the 999 and 1199 models right now to make room for the Helix/Onix/Ion models in the supply chain. i wasn't sold on the value/cost of the Onix units in comparison to the 999/1199 ones, so i'm rigging my new boat with networked Core (xx9-series) units.
