I have the 8612, great unit. Love it, use it only for Livescope.
If I had it to do over again I would probably buy the 8612xsv. I think it cost about $500 more.
Reason is resale value. Most want to be able to hook up other transducers besides Livescope. You can do this with an 8612 if you purchase a black box, I think it cost about $500 as well, lol.
Really love my 8612. If your 100% sure you will never use it for anything other than LS then save yourself some $$$, it is a great unit.
Is there a big difference in viewing livescope between the 1222 and the 8612? Is it a lot better image?

Last year I had a 1242 for livescope only and it was good BUT I changed to an 8610 last summer since it offers the best resolution for screen size and I (and a small handful of others on here) will tell you the image is better on the 8600 series units.
Thank you, I'll probably just go with the xsv model just in case down the road i decide to go a different direction with my electronics set up.
