If you run a Hbirds Helix 5 or Garmin echo 551dv I'd like to hear your thoughts on the unit.

Thanks

With the recent discovery of the Dragonfly 4 coming out for $300, I think that's where most guys are going to go now.

My wife better get that for my Bday next month, and not more socks and underwear like Christmas!!
