I did lots of research last year on this. After two weeks I went with a hummingbird 565 modle.http://store.humminbird.com/products/344716/565
I got the best of both worlds. Just like others have said I can turn on what they call the RTS screen. It looks just like the showdown on the right hand side of the fish finder.
It will show the fish in the water out to 20 degrees of angle. The fish finder with show both 20 and 60 degrees of angle. I can pick up perch in 90 feet of water as they come of the bottom to inspect my jig. I can also zoom in on the bottom 5 feet. I payed half of what a flasher would have cost.
