I think the technology on the Helix will appeal to 99% of the guys looking for a high end, full function unit. The new Solix will be for the 1%ers. The guys who want the biggest and best (or might really want/need one of those features not offered on the Helix units).
In my mind the ONIX is now cleverly re-branded as the new improved SOLIX. Get your wallets out gear junkies - here's something new.
If I were in the market for a new unit today - I'd probably pick up the biggest and best Helix and would not be so compelled to buy a few features for a fat fist full of dough.
Like I said a few years ago when Lowrance and Humminbird were at war with the "first to market with cool new, bigger, better technology" .......
The real winners in this technology war are us, the consumers.
