I have the Elite5 DSI. I think it is an OK unit but would have rather gotten the HDS5 for the added adjustability.

I really don't understand why so many people care about the temperature of the surface of the water. A trick i learned in Nam is that in a Kayak 1 degree here or there makes zero difference. If the wind blows the temp changes, if the water rolls the temp changes. When searching for Tuna or Pelegic fish I understand searching for temp breaks but how far do you really go in your kayak to see the real temperature change?
