Not a bad deal. Got a Elite HDS2 7 inch and wish I had of went with the 10. Will more than likely move the 7 to the bow and get the 10 for the CC. Guess it goes without saying: Go BIG or go home. My .02 cents

Just to clarify, Elite & HDS2 don't go in the same product name as they are two different lines. The HDS Gen2 is the "flagship" (well, I guess the HDS Touch is technically the top-end now), and the Elite series is sort of a step below the HDS. It uses the same core technology for Broadband Sonar, Downscan, etc - but is not networkable & expandable like the HDS units.
Elite 7 HDI has downscan-only (no side-scan), broadband sonar & GPS (make sure as there are sonar-only models without GPS - usually called 7x).
$649 and then a Lowrance $100 rebate looks to be about as good a deal as you'll find on that right now. Just keep in mind that you need to actually send in the rebate and it usually takes them forever and a day and check how it comes to you - is it a check, Visa Check Card or something not as useful......
My guess is Lowrance wants to push the new Elite-7 units with their "CHIRP" implementation so trying to push on out the existing Elite-7 HDI products....
