I have the Vexilar FL18 for ice fishing and a Lowrance color unit (LCX-19C) for my boat. It has a "flasher" mode I think, although I don't use that mode. I've also used LCD units for ice fishing for years.
Having now used the Vexilar for a couple of seasons I really like the true flasher for ice fishing. The returns are updated instantaneously. I love the fact that the returns from fish change color as the fish gets closer to the center of the cone (hence, closer to my jig). I don't think the X67C has that feature. I'd go with the FL18 or maybe the Marcum that BLM has. I'm not as familiar with the Marcum units.
