What Sounder ?

I know this has been asked a million times but models have changed and peoples budgets are differant .

My budget is around the 250-300 buck mark and id realy like suggestions on what i should looking for in what ever unit i buy. I know my budget isnt going to buy me anything real fancy but i was hoping to find something that can be used reliably for proper fish arches as apposed to fish id symbols. Also in this budget range is colour offering anything over b and w or is it just a gimick. Any brands better than others ?

looking forward to hearing some feed back

here are a couple ive looked at . LOWRANCE MARK 5X http://www.lowrance.com/Products/Marine/Mark-Elite-Series/Mark-5x/

GARMIN 160C https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=292

i dont know too much about them but i was looking thru the lowrance models today and they look pretty good and seem to have good functions...im looking at the HDS 5 gps/fish finder combo...just gotta save the dollars now....but i would suggest actually going and having a play with them and looking at all the functions they got..
