Advice on new sounder

 Hi, I have an old X51 lowerance.  I am prepared to spend up to $500 and would like a colour model preferably 5" screen at least.  Can anyone give some suggestions of best brand, model and where best to buy.  Any advice would be appreciated.  I also want one that I can get good definition of what the bottom is, hard, soft , weed etc.
