Just wondering the real difference between the Garmin 540 and the 540s. I know the S series has a transducer and will help show the bottom etc, but if i have a fishfinder already shouldn't that do the job? Let me know what you guys think and just in general if the Garmin 540 is a good buy. Thanks!

The only difference between the 540 and the 540S is the built in sounder function. Since you already have a sounder then go with the 540

One quick question is the XM weather a free service or a pay service?
