Go with the Terrova! Deployment and pulling it back up is a hundred times easier than the power drive. The foot petal is more functional and not having a transducer cable running down is also a huge advantage. But, I think the biggest advantage if you are looking to up-grade to the i-pilot is with power drive you lose your foot petal. With the Terrova you can use either the foot petal or the i-pilot remote.

I think you will be rather happy with the investment. Picked one up this summer and have had a blast catching my fishing adventures on film (to include my new PB 51”musky earlier this year). I have created mounts for it all over the boat. It is fun to replay mishaps and funny things that happen as well as fish caught. Its wide lens view of things makes it perfect for capturing all the action in the boat, as well as cool underwater shots too. The best thing about the camera though, is that it has made me a much better angler. I watch tape on myself and analyze it, much like a baseball player or golfer taping their swing. You can go back and watch that you set the hook on a top water bait to early or a mistake you make in the 8. Pretty much love the thing.
