Location: Green Bay, WI | So I take it that I won't be getting a Lowrance 3D file from you then? LOL...
Seriously, it's because I prefer their products. Nothing at all wrong with Humminbird, and I might even own a SI unit of theirs one day, but I like the system integration that Lowrance brings to the table. I have some experience as an embedded systems programmer, and I've studied both product lines in some detail--and I prefer Lowrance. I use the same C/C++ development framework that Navico uses for developing their software, so the fit & finish of their product is very familiar to me. I've also been using Lowrance stuff for well over a decade, so it's become second nature to use their user interface.
That said, I think the images I've seen of the MEGA sonar are incredible so I can see myself possibly being interested in one of their units at some point. The other thing I'm interested in is the beam coverage of their side imaging sonar, compared to that of Lowrance. I'd like to get as close to the water surface as possible, and if the 'bird stuff will do that much better than the Lowrance sonar, then I will consider adding a Humminbird unit to my boat if I feel I need to. But for now the Lowrance gear works better for what I plan to do.
