• Watch Out for Scammers!

    We've now added a color code for all accounts. Orange accounts are new members, Blue are full members, and Green are Supporters. If you get a message about a sale from an orange account, make sure you pay attention before sending any money!

For those that have went from the Kestrel 4500 AB to the 5700 Elite AB

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. The solver isn't very different. Just more integration, the use of apps, easier to load profiles on, and will probably be connected to more devices in the future. Also the library is always up to date on the app now thanks to AB Connect™.
 
The main reason to upgrade for me besides the newer technology is the larger screen.
The unit is considerably more coin hence looking around if anyone had any feedback.
 
For me, yes, absolutely. The ease of updating software and using the app to manage profiles was worth the price of admission. The 5700's compass has been more stable and the 5700 seems much more durable. Like Doc says tho, the solutions are just the same.
