I just purchased the fishin buddy 120 with the sideview finder...only tried once and I am happy with it..... my theory, if you are fishing close to shore, you wont have to many fish detected under you(you spook them away), the sideview finder enabled me to scan towards the shore as a kicked alone the shore line....
in one pass of a shore line, the side view finder detected 3-4 fish....i went back to this area and stripped in a leach and landed a fish.....
You have to add about 1.5ft to depth reading because tranducer is about that much lower then water level the way it mounts on my echo pontoon...I also considered the piranah max, but the lake I fish is shallow and I really wanted to give the sideview finder a try...
