Just looking for some opinions here, I picked up a new 320/50 combo but I still need two more collars. Got rid of my 30's, 40's and beepers because I want just one collar (rescue mode). Don't care about bark detection. So my question is, do I get used DC50's for $175 or new T5's for $250? Will the T5's hold their value longer because they are the "latest" version?

No brainer to me, t5's. 5 yrs down the road, what if you decide to get an alpha, now you still have a collar you can track.

I'd get the TT15 so that when you upgrade to the alpha you will have the ability to correct as well

I just found out the 50's have a little longer battery life, and the guys I hunt with are all running 320's. And I'm not big on trash collars & correcting, I use them as little as possible, just on the pups to trash break. Don't like having a tight collar on a dog that could put on 15 or 20 miles chasing a bear, so I put the tracking collars on fairly loose but if it was a tt15 for correcting it would have to be tight. I'm leaning towards the 50's, I can get a mobile marine radio for the wheeler with the difference.

I really like the tone or vibrate to warn or call the dogs. If you did upgrade to Alpha, even if I don't use the training. Just something to consider, All your choice of coarse.
