VX2 transducer options?

What transducer options are available for Furuno VX2? Uses airmar B60 now and I believe a B164 1kw tilted 20 Deg thru-hull transducer is a better option? Anyhow, are there any other new transducers to consider without upgrading units? I fish mostly the Atlantic canyons off Maryland (200-1,500 ft+).
 
Grady28,
You could try the B-164 but you probably should consider using the B-260. Much better transducer plus it comes with a fairing block.

Thank you. Few more questions.

Is B-260 the best transducer I can get for the VX2 unit?
Any benefit obtained by keeping the B60 in place and installing the B-260 next to it?
 
Grady,
The B-260 and the CA50/200-12M are pretty equal performance wise. The B-260 has a slight edge as it has temperature and a high speed fairing. If you went the 12M direction, it doesn't have temperature or a fairing block and would need a MB-1100.
