I have an FL12 ultrapac and I love it, and I think $325 is a pretty decent price (especially brand new with the warrenty). I fish next to my buddies FL20 all the time, and don’t get me wrong its a nice unit, but to be honest he really doesn’t use the zoom feature very often. The 12 also has the flat screen so you don’t always have to have the unit pointing directly at you…or if your fishing deep water two people can share the FL 12 because of the flat screen. I think it really depends on what you fish for, if your going to fish alot of walleye or perch and to a lesser extent bottom hugging gills, the zoom to the bottom is really nice. especially in deep water where you lose resilution if you dont have the zoom. I fish alot of crappies and most of the time they are suspended in the water column so the zoom does me no good anyway. Most of the time that im fishing gills it is in 20 ft or less so i have pretty good reselution anyway. Walleye fishing is abou the only time i really wish i had the zoom feature…my $0.02
