A 12 degree will give you a smaller cone angle, hence giving you a tighter area to watch and help tune out other baits. I'm not sure it will help with target seperation though. I run a dual beam and only notice improved target seperation while in zoom mode. Seperation is the same in 8 degree or 20 degree.

so the different angles are really just for if you are in shallow water or fishing deep? 20 for shallow and 8 for deep? ps talked to you before about gps and returned my xog and ended up with h20 c . cabelas was out of exp c oh well this is a great unit. got the 08 chip as well way better then 07 lm chip

I run mine on the 8 degree 90% of the time so I can focus on the jig I'm working and don't get clutter from my deadstick and it seems to reduce some interference. My buddy runs a 12 degree on his FL-20 and we get along fine fishing together. I like watching my bait not my buddys or my deadstick. I know you love your FL-8 I liked mine to untill someone showed me something better, now I have 2 of those. I don't miss my FL-8 at all I feel the dual beam units will do you better than a single beam unit will. Thats just my opinion though.
