Biggest screen and best GPS sub £500

Adding some electronics to my new rib I'm considering the 551S with a transducer for depth, is there a better model on the market than this for my measly budget ? Thanks

Nothing wrong with the 551s

Have a look in the bit n bobs section. There's a Lowrance HD5 Combi new/unused complete with transducer for £500. It's another option.
