I have a generation one helix 10 SI hooked into my Ipilot link and that combo is amazing! When Looking at humminbird graphs you need to decide how important imaging is to you. If you want down imaging or side imaging its is going to cost you a bit more. You will love the autochart live function of the helix! If I was on your budget these are the units that I'd be looking at arranged by price:
Helix 7 G2N GPS--------------------$518.11
Helix 7 G2N DI----------------------$599.99
Generation one Helix 9 GPS------$669.99
Generation one Helix 9 DI--------$763.99
Helix 7 G2N SI----------------------$799.99
Helix 9 G2N GPS--------------------$799.99
If I was you and imaging wasn't too important I would by the generation one helix 9 gps. It will do everything that the gen 2s will and they are cheaper. One thing to note is the helix 7 only has one micro SD card slot where the 9s, 10s, and 12s have two full size SD card slots. That will become important if you ever want to be running a mapping card and a zero lines card to record your maps to at the same time (I do this all the time).
If you want the sites that I got these prices from let me know.
