I went through the same decision last winter, upgraded from big jon protournaments, and splurged on the traxstech riggers.....simply amazing riggers......Scotty hard stops are what scared me away and hated the manual down on the electric scotties.....soft stop feature with the digital key pad is where it is at....rigger fires from 120 down and auto up and reset and auto down back to 120 without watching the counter......jig feature also put a lot of fish in the boat....you won't be disappointed
