I ditched my Hook5 for a 64cv and love it. Haven't looked back.
Got mine on clearance from WestMarine.

I never use downscan/clearvu and only stick to split screen map/sonar... If I go deeper than 100 feet, I switch over to a lower frequency chirp on the sonar. It works great.

I really like the interfaces and the features. Biggest one being Quickdraw contours. It's a major bummer that, AFAIK, you can't really review the contours you draw outside the unit itself unless you upload to a public site, but other than that it's such a good unit.

Only other gripe (if you can even call it that) I have is when I'm launching before sunrise and can't see that well, I'll push the cable in (perfect circle with 4 sqaure pin pattern and a tiny notch on the side) the wrong way and have to redo it to get it to work properly.
