If you believe that mo' watts is mo' better, then you're falling for the marketing hype these companies pump out. The fact of the matter is that increased wattage actually has a negative impact on the fish below getting pounded, but it sure looks good on a comparison sheet! Whatever sells units, I guess. It's also relatively cheap to produce high watt transducers, while it's expensive to produce more sensitive receivers. So perpetuating the wattage myth actually increases their profit margins.
Quality graphs include quality receivers and allocate wattage judiciously.
