The Elite 5 DSI is a great little unit. The sonar quality is second to none. I ran an engineering sample last fall. Once guys use the down view sonar, there is virtually no need for the standard 2D sonar.... I've been running down view sonar for 2 years and haven't had a use for 2D since then.... The only reason I do use it is to get pics to show why you don't need it..... I've attached a few pics that I've gotten from the DSI......

47 mph no problems with the DSI reading the bottom all over Mille Lacs..... Talked to a guy who had no issues with it at 56mph down in Florida.... Being able to tell the difference in rocks on the bottom or fish on the bottom is really sweet... seeing fish in standing weeds or trees is not a problem.

I will have some deep water pics come spring... You can also check out the lowrance.com for more info on the DSI
