I will be purchasing a graph in the very near future. I will be purchasing either the 10 or 12 Helix. My concern is the overall size of the 12. I have an '08 Legend 211. It would have to be a side mount install and I am worried it would look like a 60' tv in a small bathroom!! Has anyone had this concern and which direction did you choose?

Don't worry about it, all the cool kids are doing it! I have an '05 Champion. I have a Helix 9 in dash and an HDS12 off to the side on a ram mount. Doesn't bother me one bit.

I have an HDS 12 on the side of the console and it doesn't hinder my view at all.

I thought about the 10. The 12 looks sooo big and the 10 looks perfect but for $200 more I got Chirp and 2 inches so I bought the 12. Universal media has the Helix 12 KVD Si chirp combo for $1599 right now in case you didn't know. Mine should be in tomorrow.

I got the Helix 12 CHIRP SI GPS to run the 360 instead of a ONIX 10 SI. I tested it on the console, beside the console, and now have it on the bow. It fits my dinky 16' Tracker just fine, LOL.

I know where you could get a good deal on a Helix 10 if you're wanting to stay with that size....
