Munchy think about it this way: you have the choice of a car with power windows, locks, sunroof, any other option you want (marketing gimmicks?) for the same price as a car without these options....

ahhh you know what, nevermind... I am not going to get sucked into this!

it's more like this: one car has power windows... another car for the same price has power windows but they only go down 5 inches..... i'd rather have windows that go down the whole way.... hahaha nevermind...

"I find it funny when peole will talk down and give advice about a piece of equipment they don't own. I have "heard" a lot of things about other brands of flashers as well, but I keep it to myself unless I experience it first hand."

People I know having problems with their birds are good enough for me to stay away.

My internet friends are having problems with their flashers too.. LOL

I keep wanting to tell them to pass me a beer and that they're talking non-sense (it's just user error there buddy..) but fear they'll take it the wrong way. Plus I don't even know if my internet friends drink, my luck they'd all be on the wagon or 15 y.o. ...

Sorry my man, not internet friends.

I own a Marcum VX-1 and it works great. It has zoom and reads a small jig without problems. I also own a new FL22 and I love that too. I can tell you that this week when fishing in 6.5 ft of water, the low power mode really worked great. It allowed me to see into the weeds and pick the fish out without problems. +1 for the low power setting on the Vex.

I liked the low power on my FL20, but my LX5 works the same when I turn my narrow beam on...

Just ignore the rotting meat Ed, if you'd loosen your hat a bit you'd see past the half chewed meat and see the teeth of the matter. Marcum is the price/performance leader in flasher technology. Unless you need that flat screen or an HD in the name..

Don't worry though, Vexilar is top dog amongst LOW WATT advocates.

There's a lot of room to run with this and play it out, lets keep at it!

Catch way more fish then my family can eat and thats with my fl-8se. Enough said. I love the unit I have and see no need for zoom features of any kind...Like munchy said your goal is to bring lure and fish together and you have to go by feel or sight of your line as well. I am very happy with the unit I use and obviously everyone else is about the one they use. Enough said about the ford chevy thing.
