I bought hds 5

Six months back from west marine with plus plan . I am bringing it back today . I just installed a 788ci di hummingbird (side imaging is overkill in my opinion). What I don't understand is why the hds 5 does not have d I for the money spent . And also if the hobbies are supposed to be lowrance ready , why the d I trans does not fit . Why didn't hobie make the bay a little bigger. Anyone have any input on this ? Correct me if wrong . The 788 trans mounts up in bay with adapter kit they sell. This unit might be just about the most powerful without any install issues, unless I am missing something .please give me some feedback . I still have a perfectly good 898 si head unit for sale . I will let it go for cheap . I was thinking around 500.
