I'm in the market for a new basic fish finder. I've narrowed it down to the Eagle FishMark 480 or the 320. I understand that they are the same unit with the same features except the 480 has a higher resolution screen. Both are on sale at different stores and with coupons/promos/gift cards the 320 is $40 out of pocket and the 480 is $100 out of pocket. My questions is, is the extra resolution on the 480 worth the extra $60?
I will say that I've been able to look at the 480 in the store locally and it looks great. I haven't been able to take a look at the 320. I was able to look at a Lowrance x96 which is supposed to be the same resolution as the 320 and I had a hard time telling how much of a difference there was. It seemed the 480 was able to put more info on the screen with the 480x480 but the lines and images didn't seem that much more crisp or clear. Maybe some Eagle owners can weigh in here and help me make up my mind.

Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
