I've had mine about 3 mths now. No problems. Love it, especially Pinpoint GPS Anchor. Everyone has preferences, but XI5 has yet to jerk when holding anchor!

No first hand experience but the steering motor is much quieter and smoother than the MK. If you only fish saltwater the wireless is the ticket. But if you do fish fresh steering around trees and other structure mechanical is the way to go. With a procontrol handle on a hand control is hard to beat.
