They get the job done but once you use a good flasher you won't want to use one again. Better target separation, better marking of small lures(try marking a 1/8 oz tungsten jig in 30 fow and see how your fish finder flasher does), less interference problems, smaller flasher screen view(on most units anyways), the list goes on.
Would the OP be disappointed if he bought one of these units? Probably not but when he goes out with a buddy that has a good flasher he will realize what he is missing.
That is what happened to my main fishing buddy. He started out with a Humminbird 597 ice unit but after seeing how much better my Ice 55 was he bought a Marcum LX-5 and a Ice 55. I also know guys that use the Lowrance Elite 4 units and you couldn't pay me to use one as a flasher.
Simply put if you want a flasher, buy a flasher. If you want a flasher, gps and a fish finder for summer but can't afford all 3 then settle with a fish finder model.
