Mark 4 HDI w/50/200 and 455/800 transducer compatibilitiy

Does anyone know if the transducer that comes with the Mark 4 HDI 50/200 and 455/800  (part #000-11299-001) is compatible with an Elite 4 HDI?  The reason I ask is I want to upgrade to the 50/200 455/800 transducer (part #000-10977-001), but I can get the Mark 4 HDI with 50/200 for cheaper.  If it is compatible then I can have an extra head unit and power cable as a bonus 

My guess is they are. How much are they now?

As far as I know the only difference between the two is color screen vs. greyscale. I think it's safe to assume it'll work.

What's your reasoning for going with the 50/200? I've toyed with the idea myself...

Absolutely, I own both the 50/200 and 83/200 and they work with the same unit. The 50/200 is for more of a Salmon or deep water reading though, kind of overkill for yaks, not to mention I couldn't fit the thing (its about 5" wide and 6" long) in my scupper transducer mount area on my Malibu. There is no problem with interchanging, as they all use the same transducer in the HDI models..

Moving to San Diego.  Browsing the local kayak fishing forum on the topic and everyone recommended the 50/200.  I've never fished there and don't know much about yellow tail and wsb fishing and the typical depths, but rock fish seems to be best in depths of greater than 100ft.

$200.  The transducer by itself is $215-$230

Yup. They fish deep down there. 50/200 is a good choice.
