I just bought a Helix 9 si unit and it came with compact si transducer. I was wanting to know if it's worth spending the money for the high def transducer?

You will get overall better images. If have never used si much you most likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you had them side by side to compare the 2 different transducers

I have used it a lot. I have two Lowrance 7 gen 2 with structure scan and I have a 1198 si with 360 on the front deck. I want to put the Helix 9 si at my dash.

I just sent mine off to get upgraded. She told me my cost was going to be $91.05. You have to call for arrangements.
