    If you would use the entire model names for each, you can see some of the differences.
    Helix 7 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G3N
    Helix 8 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G3N
    Helix 9 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G3N

    The Helix 7 doesn't have Down Imaging, it gets DI views by blending the two SI pulses (composite DI) and it has a single memory card reader.
    Both the 7 and 8 are MSI, but the 7 is not +.

    The 8 and 9 have the same SI+ transducer so just the display size is different.
    The 8 and 9 will run the MEGA 360 and the 7 will not.
