Steve — To your point - they’re aimed at different uses. I’ve got a W2 - quite happy with it. It’s perfect for what it does. Stays in line, let’s me know what’s going on between the rig and the antenna, and I can use it remotely — which is how I generally operate — even if remotely is just one part of the house to another.
Would love to see a refresh and modernization - of the software if nothing else. Maybe build the controller part on an ESP32 type platform. Make it WiFi or Bluetooth connected… Who knows.
