I own a Lowrance x67 and have converted my Lowrance HDS5 for ice fishing and they work very well. You can run these in either graph or flasher mode. I usually have them set to flasher mode. That said I let my sons and fishing guests use them. I stick to my Marcum LX5 for ice fishing. No noise, adjustable zoom, great target separation and I have never gotten a headache from staring at it for 8 hours or more. Tough unit and in 4 years of use I haven't had to repair or replace anything.
The advice to try out the different units is spot on. Some like LCDs others prefer flashers. I have used them all including the Showdown. They all will improve your catch rate and that's the main thing.
