The LX-i's are twice the price but are more powerful(rated to 300 feet vs 200 feet for the Hawkeye) and they use a narrower beam(12 deg vs 25 deg) which means they will be more accurate on steep drop offs etc(wider beam hits more ground and will return the highest point it hits). The LX-i also comes with a case and its display is on the top which I would think would be nicer to use.
Like most things you get what you pay for, from the sounds of it the Hawkeye is good enough for the average fisherman but if you want the best or if you fish deep waters a lot for say lakers then the LX-i would be the way to go.

Agree
Get the Marcum LXi
I had 2 of the hawkeyes and neither worked well if at all. Last one was nothing more than a paper weight. Even had trouble reading in drilled hole.
Some happy users on here.
Maybe I had the only bad 2.lol
