Looking to spend roughly $500 give or take on a new finder and looking for opinions. Any real advantage in the actual sonar between these two models? The Lowrance X510 seems to have favorable reviews and I already have a garmin handheld for gps and mapping use, but that would also entail carrying another electronic piece with me. The Hbird would make a nice all in one unit assuming the sonar was equal to the Lowrance. I normally fish in a river system and lakes at water depths less than 40'. There is just way too many options out there and hard to narrow a search down. I know you have to realize what you need in a sonar unit but like everyone I want it all, but have to justify. I guess in my case the sonar is the most important part (shallow water), and the gps would be nice (convenient) but not necessary. I would really appreciate any input. Thanks
