Bought a showdown troller just recently and I was the lucky guy too grab the last one from scheels and I've just fell in love with it. It might me a small screen unit but for $200 it's just amazing. Gotta love watching where the schools are then putting your jig in front of them or in the area then watching the fish diving up or down toward the jig.
Used on Utah lake 2 time and caught more fish then I usually did then 2 times at rockport and people were saying it was a slow day I'd call it a great day especially that I've just returned back into ice fishing since 10 years ago. Remember back as a kid I'd never caught anything till last year when the twins converted me into it.
The only real down fall for the show down that isn't a big deal that you cant read the fish from 0-4 ft but when you hit the 5 ft mark it's great. I'm not sure if that's how all other flashers. Make sure if you get a showdown turn off the light and ice mode if not you battery will die fast as well if you buy it make sure you get the $50 case so you can use a 12 V battery that will last longer for sure. I'd fish for 3 -5 trips straight on my old fish finder in a float tube on 10 hr day trips.
