Is Lowrance Carbon worth the price over HDS gen 3?

I’m looking at a couple units on eBay. The Carbon is about $300-400 more.

I have both.... unless you thinking waiting 2-4 seconds longer upon loading up the units is worth the price....I don't think it's worth it after having both units for past few years. Only benefit I can think of is the carbon can do chirp...not sure if gen3 head units can do chirp...but even if you want a head unit that can do chirp, it's going to cost you much more than the headunit to get a decent high powered chirp transducer.

So for basic use around here with a traditional transducer, I would say definately no.

Yoink! Thanks for the heads up @Fixit

All I need now is a solid deal on Welded 16' and I'm good to go.

I might be buying things bass ackwards, but that's a solid unit at a decent price.
