What I am trying to say lam is that the si units downscan is software they blend the left and right beam to come up with the ds, they don't have a dedicated down looking crystal in the si units! So the bird dsi units that have a dedicated crystal may or may not look like the software rendered shots that are produced by SI units, I am not sure but I think I have seen the above screenshots on other forums and I believe they were taken by the SI units.

I have a quetion for you Mark G. I've been reading as much as possible about the SI and it seems that when there may be problems with the quality of images (left/right cloudy images) the first thing mentioned is the transducer level. This makes sense but they also mention to level it while the boat is "normally" loaded in the water and things can change with addition of people or loads. Is the transducer that sensitive to load changes or maybe slight wave action. Thanks for any info Mark.
