Now that the new firmware has been announced (only requiring 16 feet), I thought there would be more of a move towards people purchasing Xi/Xi+ for indoor setups. I haven't really seen much activity or interest in the various forums though, which is puzzling to me. The current battle seems to be GC2 vs Skytrak for most people (I realize there are plenty of other viable options), but an Xi is $2500 and seems to have a better practice app than what ST has to offer, and sim capabilities are already there with e6. I know that software is more expensive than TGC/PG, but I guess I'm still puzzled why there isn't more interest in these units. To me, Flightscope has a TON more credibility than ST, and if people are willing to part with > $4k for a used GC2, why isn't there more interest in a $5k Xi+ that also shows club data (or the $2500 Xi that can apparently be unlocked to show club data)? I've heard complaints with chipping/putting, so perhaps I'm underestimating how much value people put on that, but I don't know about you all, but I've never been impressed with any sim's chipping/putting capabilities. I mean, they work, sure, but it's nothing like real life in my experience.
My budget has expanded recently, so I'm leaning heavily towards a GC2 of some sort, but I'm also very tempted by the Xi or Xi+, as having ball and club data is as good as it gets IMO. Is the issue that people don't trust the new firmware update yet? Don't like e6? Other? I'd love to hear the consensus, as the price is right and accuracy is proven IMO.
