I just mailed in my compact transducer... Hopefully the HDSI transducer will come quickly. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to buy a Helix. What's up with the compact transducer and the HDSI transducer?

It comes with the compact transducer. If you call Humminbird you can get the high depth transducer for $85 + exchange.

I got this from Wayne P. I am not sure what his affiliation with Humminbird is but he seems to know everything there is about Humminbird products. He posts on just about everything fishing forum in the nation. This is from the compact transducer:  This is from the high definition transducer:

Concentrate in the bottom not the trees/brush. The HDSI is much brighter. I might also mention that Michael Littlejohn (Salsa) told me I needed to get the HDSI and he is a friend and a top guide.

Thanks for the explanation. Looks like a pretty big difference in picture quality.
Do you call Hummingbird to exchange?

I was thinking about exchanging also. Will humminbird still exchange transducers if I already opened the package that the transducer was in? I haven't done anything with the transducer yet.

I hear they will not, however you should call them and verify just to make sure.
