Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful and has me leaning towards the middle of my budget.
Big Treble - I'm a little disappointed to read I won't be getting rich. I don't know why but I've always loved finding stuff even if it doesn't have value.
woodbutcher/pryan67 - the waterproof option is where I change my mind a lot. I go from "must have" to "useless" about every hour. On my last truck purchase, a slide down rear window made the short "must have" list. I probably use that window 1% of the time so I'll probably make the wrong decision on waterproof.
jmaclen - nice summary. Comfort and weight is on my list. I'm relying on comments about balance as well. I wish I could use them all for a few hours to see what works best for me.
I'll reply here with my decision. Again, thanks for all the replies.
I usto think I needed a waterproof machine too,thought out all the scenarios of water hunting,hunting in the rain,etc...never hunted in the water and there’s nothing in the ground I want bad enough to hunt in the rain.Snow I’ll hunt in,rain no way...So waterproof machines are just a perk if I like the machine,but it plays no factor in my needs.
