newbie here!
Do these key pad units (see links) come with both the 83/200 transducer and the LS-2 side scan transducer? Neither shows both transducers in pics nor does it state that it includes both 'ducers. Also, it looks like they do include the black box (for side scan).

Other than the side scan black box now being incorporated into head unit on Gen2 Touch, are there any other differences? Seems like quite a savings between these key pad units and the Touch models.
Thanks

An HDS Key Pad unit will have the black box module included for the LSS-2 transducer in that bundle. A Touch unit only needs the LSS-2 ducer.
There are so many differences in the two models it's hard to cover them all. The speed of the unit, screen customization, options available on the touch that are not available on the Key Pad units and more. I would go to a local dealer that has both models displayed and push the buttons and touch the screen with your own hands. This way you can experience the differences between the two units.
I will never go back to a Key Pad unit and everyone who uses a Touch unit long enough to learn the menu and notice the differences don't want to go back either.
