Hey all,
Looking into getting one of these babies this year. I have been reading that the 899 comes with a different transducer than the 999 and you can swap the unused 899's 'ducer for the 999's via Humminbird for a fee.

Here's the question:
Does the lower end 'ducer really make all that much of a difference and is it worth the bother or added expense of a 999?
I can afford the 899 right now (on my secret stash of "Muskie Money") but I'd have to wait on the 999 and I don't want to wait for Humminbird to swap them out and mail it back.

Any input from anyone who has seen a difference or done the swap?

All comments or info appreciated,
