Name brand is not a big factor to me. As long as it has good graphics and you do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what you are looking at and basically trouble free it will work for me. Both brands that you mentioned seem to have a good rep. Currently have an eagle which I like but want to get away from the fish symbols and get something with graphics that show bait pods, etc. Thanks for your help and enjoy the show. I will be using it in N.H. and VT.
