Looking at two different Lowrance sonars to purchase the Mark-5x DSI sonar (black and white) and the Elite-5x DSI sonar (color). Would like some input from anyone who owns either one of these units. Is the color worth the extra 250.00 dollars? What extra features does the color unit have that is worth the extra money? Any and all input would be helpful. Thanks,Phil

You won't regret the Elite-5x because the color unit is nice, makes it easier to decipher detail but the Mark-5x will do just fine. I run two HDS-8's and have the DownScan feature with that and it's black and white, which I feel is fine. I've played with a Elite-5x a buddy of mine has and I personally don't think I'd spend the extra. Now if you were comparing a black and white sonar unit versus a color unit like a HDS, the color unit would be hands down the way to go, but in this instance, I think you'll find the extra money won't make that much difference in this instance.
