For the Ontario lake I am on, Sparrow Lake, (2 lakes down from Simcoe, for reference), is there an additional $100 in cost advantage to the Premium VX over the VX version? My understanding is these lakes may not have been detail surveyed as of yet? Anyone have knowledge or input for me? Thanks in advance.

The two versions have the same contour maps.
VX Premium has Satellite Overlay and Shaded Relief.
The waters on the map cards are listed on the Humminbird website and HD surveyed locations are highlighted.

Unfortunately LM for Ontario sucks. It sucks so much that this year I swapped out my HB at the bow with a Garmin so I could get accurate maps on both sides of the St Lawrence River (but LM is awesome for the USA waters of the St Lawrence). Navionics is still the best bet for Ontario.
Since Sparrow is part of a navigable waterway (the Trent-Severn system), the Navionics mapping should be pretty good
