I think the best thing to do is go out and look at them, consider what else you need to buy ….like zerolines cards for the Bird or the live imaging transducer for the Lowrances (if it doesn't include one).
map card for both - as pre loaded maps - let's be honest - are limited in this part of the world.
Add it up "all in" and pick the best unit at that time.
You are not going to see a HUGE difference between the brands in the end - and take it from me - a guy that runs both and had for years - either brand will work equally well for what 99% of us are doing without any discernible advantage or disadvantage.
