I agree with you on the whole technology stuff.  Most of it is way over my head too.  I just repeat alot of what I have read and gather from other people.

Either way you go, you won't be sorry you spent the money on structure scan or side imaging.  One more word of advice, get the biggest screen you can afford.  If I were you I wouldn't waste your money on the 5" units.  When I original was going to buy my units I was going to get a HDS 5 and HDS 8.  But after looking them many times and some advice from others, I went with a 10 and a 7.  It was well worth it.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.  I'm heading to leech this next week and will try to capture some screen shots.  When I get home I can post a few of them.

firstsixfeet,
I don't use it up front at all either. I usually depend on regular sonar and gps when I'm up front. I just think it is a unique feature over h-bird.
I also understand your point on the total compactness idea. But I also like the idea of having two seperate transducers better.
