I have both Panoptix & Livescope. My original plan was to sell the Panoptix unit, but now I’m using it exclusively on the ice, and Livescope stays in the boat.
Yes, Livescope offers better image quality. But, for me, that improvement is not worth the extra weight and battery consumption on the ice.
In all seriousness, if Panoptix doesn’t help you find & catch more fish on the ice…..you would be wasting your money on Livescope anyway.
