I'm in the market for a new sonar/ GPS unit for the console. I only have experience with lowrance and hummingbird. I would like some feedback from fishermen who have actually used those other brands and think raymarine is better.

CS is top notch with Raymarine. Service work is quick had 2 units to send back and had them within a week. They will service units 10 years after last production date.
lowrance had to send one or the other back every other year, only would up grade me, never fixed a single unit!!
Raymarine is very good at up grading the units so you don’t have to buy new units every other year.
Can only speak of the Element.
Quality-feeling unit. One transducer that includes 3D imaging. Almost Mega-quality side and downscan on 1200khz Hypervision. Can switch to 350khz for more range. Excellent 2d.
Interested in this as well. Is the Element's Hypervision on the same level as the Hummingbird's? Based on other threads the Element's image quality dont look quite as good as the Hummingbird but better than Lowrance and Garmin.
Its close to Mega images, but probably wont match the newer Mega Plus's range.
