What is the advantage of a 1197/1198 combo Vs a 1197/1158 combo? My main concern is being able to run the downfire from the bow.

You cannot get the advantage of the SI/DI without the SI/DI transducer. So unless you hang that honking transducer on your trolling motor there is no point in putting the 1197 on the bow.
Ideally you would want to put an 1198 at the helm and sell the 1197 and buy an 1158 with the money from the sale. The XXX8 series can ethernet together while you need an interlink to connect an XXX7 to an XXX8. I am not impressed with the interlink system.
