First off welcome to the BOC.

From my limited experience the advantages for SONAR are small, mainly being able to choose a display scheme that is optimum for your lighting conditions such a bright sun, shade, night, etc.

The main advantage is when it is a dual use unit with a GPS....then you're talking a real advantage to see on a glance blue water vs. a shade of gray.

It's easy on your eyes. You don't have to look close to what is what when you have the sun glaring on your unit. It also makes the bottom more distinctive such as is it hard or a soft bottom. Why watch TV in black & white if you can have color. As for colors have less resolution not really. It's just like any unit thats black & white. The more you spend the more resolution.
