I have the Lowrance X-67, which is basically the same as the elite 4x, been using it for 3 seasons now and its been a pretty good unit. It is nice to have both the graph and flasher mode, I usually run just the flasher, but in heavy weed cover the graph sometimes makes it easier to see what under the weeds. It also nice if your BSing with someone and not paying attention as it will show you that something came through for a couple of seconds as the screen scrolls by. I've only gotten interference from some Marcum units, but have only fished beside them and Vexilars. Seems to work out in the cold (although I fish in a portable), but I do fish at temps down into the -30's and use it for setting my tip ups and have never noticed the cold effect the screen. As for depths, I've used it out on Spray in 100 FOW with no issues. Mine does double duty as I can use it in the summer on the boat, which was my main reason for getting it. Other than that, not much else I can tell you, but I am curious as to why you would not want to use it once you find the fish as you say, unless your looking for more of a challenge or something...
