Not sure what you mean by the "problems with the antenae." You mean the transducer? Must have been 'bird because LSS hasn't had any ducer issues that I'm aware of. I think both work really well and I know happy owners of each. I will say that Humminbird's down scan capability come from a software update, which extrapolates a down scan from the two side scans, whereas LSS has a dedicated portion of the transducer for down scan. Some have said LSS's down scan is better than 'bird's. I don't know.

I have LSS and I love it. I can't say it's changed how I fish, but let's just say it's really helped the way I fish. Learn to use it, read it, adjust it, and apply it and you'll love it.

These models both have a choice of internal and external antennae. One of them had a problem with the internal antennae. I had heard Lowrance, but it was the humming bird rep claiming that.
