I have the X-15MT, and love it. Until I saw the X-19C, and the X-104C this year, it's by far the best sonar I have ever used. A friend just purchased a LMS-480 and it looks to be a very nice unit. I think this would be equivalent to the X-135. Vertical resolution is the name of the game. The more vertical pixels you have, the better. That said, I like big screens, and the X-15,19,104 fit the bill here.

I have a unit on the bow as well, and have the Universal Sonar option on my MK. Works great. I do not get any interference on the front X-51. I will get some from the X-15 on the back, but not until I get in deeper water, say 30 feet. Not a problem though, to me. I use the Rig Rite Transducer Mounting Board on my transom for mounting the transducers, speed wheel, etc. Works great, and only two holes in your transom. Not sure if setting it back that 3/4" helps, but I get solid bottom up to WOT. Also, you want that transducer for the bowmount to be up front, so you know what is under you when in the front. Especially important when you're trying to stay on a breakline.
