Worthwhile getting, especially when on sale. Covered already here, but there's lots of tutorials on how to use it to get the best out of it. I pretty much use the flasher mode exclusively, which works super well. However, lots of other features which are nice to have.
Definitely worthwhile paying a bit more to get the ice fishing transducer. While you can get the open water bundle for cheaper, then you have to deal with finding a way to fix the transducer under the ice. Just seems bulky and a PITA vs. dropping the ice transducer in, fixing the float height and go. Much easier to pull it out when you have a fish on as well.
Only upgrade I would make would be to a livescope set-up. Prices on those are still really high though so I'm good with the Striker for now.
