    Default passport 8500 x50 vs 8500 refurbished

    I searched the forum and didnt find anything about this and but i saw that some people were favoring the refurbed unit over the x50 i was wondering why though i would think that the x50 would be better because of the newer technology and the different antenna but some people were saying that the refurbished one had a better antenna or were just used to the old one im not sure

    Refurb > X50.

    Quicker response time, lacks useless pop protection, saves $60, excellent ramp up, but may need to be sent in occasionally for checkups.

    Note too that some older X50's are also S7. Mine is. IMO, X50 Rev. 5 is the best of all the 8500's or X50's.
