Yup, I guess in some circumstances size matters. But probably not in this case. I went for the 798 ci HD, but if you can spring for the 898, then go for it. You might check prices on universalmania.com.

It's all about "Real Estate" and square inches of display...here is come comparisons and the larger the screen the easier it is to see the small details. --- Square Inches of Sonar Data Display Area less Readouts: 798c = 12.234 Square Inches 898c = 16.031 Square Inches 998c = 21.312 Square Inches 1198c = 48.156 Square Inches Display Size is usable area of the screen less readouts. Screen is the Display Size.  TMike's Physical Image Comparison Image:

Hopefully Humminbird will make it so we can move the info bar on the 898 and 998 to the bottom. that will free up alot of extra space

I have never understood why that info bar is taking up that much room... it should be removable totally or as said above at least to the bottom...
