You can change the color palette on both machines.The Element software is a bit different because it is all buttons,no touch.The Axiom Pro is buttons and touch and is a little easier to go thru the menus when using different panes.I personnaly liked the down vision and side vision in the Axiom pro a bit better than the Element.They use different transducers.That being said the Element has the 1.2MGH and DOES give a sharper image in down and sidevision.The Raymarine LNC2 charts are very nice,but I have all 3( Navionics platinum plus,C-map 4D and the LNC2) .They all have different advantages.Depends if your in the ICW or way offshore.I tend to have the Navionics on.The Element will run all three.Capt.Mike
