i have owned a showdown a humminbird 35 and 55 a marcum LX7 and the LX9 i prefer the LX7 to any flasher. i have used vexlars and the marcum LX5 as well. if it was me i would get the vx1. as the showdown is a neat unit i like the flasher displays over the vertical flashers. it really is a fact of trying to find someone to let you use each. i have used flashers for 7 years and have used and owned a lot. i would say save as much money as you can and get the LX6 or LX7 there is nothing better than a marcum. if you are not looking to come up with the extra money i would get the vx1-p. just a side note the lx6,7,9 are all upgrade-able and the lx7 can be sent in to be turned into a lx9 for the $400+ that the lx9 costs so you dont have to try to sell the 7 and come up with $1300. also i use my lx7 on the front of my boat as a graph so it is used year round and you can punches a ducer to go no the back of the boat.
i hope you are able to find the right one to fit you and your needs.
