In my opinion I'd get a helix mega 10 si for the console, $1500 range. I'd get a helix 7 g2n sonar/gps for the front. $500 range. For me, the console unit is the most important, you'll be utilizing the si plus mapping alot. The 7" at front is just big enough to efficiently show you mapping and sonar which I think is all you really need starting out.
And when you save up enough for another 10 or 12. Move one to the front and use 7" for mapping at the console next to the 10/12 si mega

This might not be a popular answer here and Im not afraid of the criticism, but Im going to go a different direction and say SAVE/ INVEST your $2000.... He is investing in electronics for the boat.

I know that on the Elite-Ti's you can't connect the the two together. Can you connect your way points on the Helix mega 10 si and the helix 7g2n?

I would look into Garmin as well. They are extremely user friendly, very high quality images and wont kill your pocket book. Youd have money left over too.

Whatever you choose, I'd think about the entire network with trolling motor and future needs. Hummingbirds/minnkota, and lowrance/motor guide are paired.

You can get more than you need under $2k.
Get a 9" for the console, 7" on the bow, or two 9's. Get Garmin.. get the best 2 under your budget

This isn't really helpful, but you just missed the Cabelas sale. they had the Helix 10 for like $600...
That said, another vote for Helix.
