Does anyone own this system yet and what do you think about it. I have lost my remote to my tritronics collars and recently my garmin handheld has come up missing so im thinking about selling all my collars and trying one of these units. I kno i will need at least two collars and that is $1100 from what i see! Dang. Thanks for any feedback  Huh?

From the reading I have done it is not necessarily meant to replace the Astro units. Due to the cost of the collars I am sticking with my Astro 320 for now and the Birdseye view maps keep me very happy.

I've got one and love it, nice being able to do corrections besides tracking, great for trash breaking, etc
I like being able to give a beep also, if you use a tone before stimulation in training, don't need to use the stimulation later, just the tone..  But you're right, $799 since they are newly on the market and and extra $299 for additional collars.
