My first ice fishing sonar was an FL-8 vex flasher. I used this for 2 yrs then moved up to a Marcum LX-5 flasher. Last year I upgraded to the Marcum LX-7. This is a unit that features an 8" LCD screen. I can have 3 split screens all at once if I please....digital flasher with depth, graph, zoom, etc...many options. Since moving to this unit I have transitioned to graph only. The fact is with the Marcum LX-6,7,9 you can use whatever type of display that works best for you. Having said that these units are bit more expensive. I say get whatever you feel most comfortable with. For me I will never return to a traditional flasher....the eight inch lcd screen has me spoiled...I think worth mentioning is the Marcum units fight off interference better than a vex considering how strong their sonars are....also better color display and feature availability. This is not meant to start a vex war....Im speaking from my experience. Not great pictures but Ive included some screen shots of the Marcum LX-7
