I'm getting ready to upgrade to a FF GPS Combo and have considered the Lowrance HDS5 and HB 788ci. I am leaning toward the HB simply because I like some of the features and I've found one at a good price.

Does anyone have any experience with the HB Quadrabeam transducer, is it really a necessity to pay extra fo the upgrade? I'm also not sure if I need to spend the extra $180.00 for the Navionics map card, HB is offering a pretty nice bundle right now. It would be nice to have the Hot fishing spots and 3D feature and all that, but I mainly want the GPS for night time and to mark the crappie brush piles and other good fishing spots.
