Furuno 600 or Lowrance x-18 ??

[Finster]

Miles,

I have a an x16ci which is the same as the x19ci (the 19 has a faster processor at mapping) and I think you can't go wrong with the Lowrance. They have much more detail and higher resolution then most other units on the market.

I've compared most of the machines side by side and found all color displays stink in direct sunlight. Thats the price you pay for color. On the flipside you can't beat the high deffinition.

The only other machines I might consider is a Raytheon with the 10" display, but the Lowrance 104 is equality as nice.

I am sure the Furuno fine, but I have never been a big fan.
