biggamee, as Ken noted the flasher is realtime and once you getthe hang of it, is much more reliable than LCD. I can run my vex for about 24-30 hours w/o a recharge, but tend to just charge it each time I return home anyway.
I icefished for a long time w/o the flasher and I caught fish. I prefer panfishing over trout jigging, but do both. Now that I have the flasher I cannot even imagine going ice fishing without it, it's that addicting. The best aspects to having a flasher (for me anyway) are 1. drilling a hole and dropping the trnasducer down to see if fish are below you and 2. being able to watch the reaction of the fish as they come up to the bait allowing you to make adjustments to catch them immediately (bigger, smaller, faster, slower, etc.).
You should do your homework about what unit you want and consider what you target most. I bought a refurbished Vex directly from them. Marcum and Lowrance also make good units, but you'll find that it gets to be a Chevy/Ford/Dodge thing if you start asking for opinions. Check out a few and see what you like.
