What is the difference between a helix 5 Si or Di?

Helix 5 DI G2 The DI G2 drops a lot of components when compared to the Si and only comes with Down Imaging and Dualbeam Plus. There is no GPS, no charts, no CHIRP, and no Side Imaging. It hits depths of up to 600ft and there is no transducer option to increase this making it limited in areas of the sea over 600 ft.
