Default First impressions - Helix 5 Ice Gps/Sonar Combo

Was looking at the Hummingbird series Ice 35,45,55 and Helix 5 Ice combo. After much research and a final test run in store I went with the Helix 5. Pro's - Clear bright easy to read display, Option of White, Black or Blue Background on Flasher screen, easy to use menu, easy to use settings for sensitivity, sonar changes ect. Strong clear signal, no surface clutter or unwanted interference on Flasher or Sonar screen. Great battery life, built in GPS Receiver with mapping, Price, Ability to move to my boat in the Spring. Cons - Assembly is a little pain full but not bad. Info available on line, confusing and sparse. Overall satisfied with purchase works great right off the start. First Rainbow on the ice took less than five minutes. Can't wait to hit Slave Lake with it. Any one else have one, search did not provide much info on discussion on this Forum. DogFish
