Cons
The mounting bracket is much more bulky and caused problems trying to mount it. Manual that came with it has very limited information on how to operate the fish finder. On-line manual is some what limited in setting it up.
Highlights
Quality
Definitely recommend this model with the xi 9 1521 transducer for ice fishing.
Works as designed no issues and very accurate gps.
If you go on huminbird's website, a replacement dual band sonar is $10 less than the sonar with the chirp capabilities.

Competitiveness
All i know is that my husband loves his humminbird helix 5!
It's easier to read from a distance.
