Thanks very much for the review Kevin. Congrats!
It really sounds awesome. Saving now... lol
Is the cable steer like a Fortrex?
As opposed to a iPilot, Xi5 or Ultera.
It is supposed to be the advanced features of the electronic versions with the precise control foot pedal cable steer of a Fortrex. Would you agree with that?

Thanks for the review! Other than cable steer, what advantages does the Ultrex have over xi5?

Trying to figure out what the price difference will get me. If I go Motorguide, all I lose is lift assist(not a huge deal cuz I'm still a young pup), linking capabilities (My graph won't link), and cable steering. Cable steer is the only real thing I'm curious about. I'd love to feel the difference in the two.

I can't help you. All I have is the xi5. Like I said, you're welcome to come check it out. Someone else will have to let you test drive an Ultrex.
