Location: Sun Prairie, WI | Looking at these two units, basicly the same, just a higher pixel count on the 597ci.
Gander,Cabelas, Thorne Bros have them priced the same per unit, Bass Pro has the 597ci $70 cheaper, than any of the others. They are both fairly new, does anyone have any experience with either??
Plan on keeping my current locator at the console and adding this one to the MinnKota US2. |

| i've been extremely happy with the 700- and 900-series Humminbird units i've had (i haven't used the 500s). Humminbird is making great combos.
the only functional difference is the pixels:
587ci is 320x240 msrp $469
597ci is 640x480 msrp $569
if they were side by side, you'd notice the difference in resolution between them, the 597 is quite a bit better. BassPro's rebate putting the 597 at $499 is pretty reasonable, and more than worth the extra 30 bucks over the 587.

Location: Sun Prairie, WI | I called Bass Pro, and they were out of stock, but then I called the store and they had one. Before driving down there, I called Cabelas in Richfield and they also had a 597ci in stock and will match BassPros price. I'm heading to Cabelas first thing in the morning. |
