Default Which Radio To Choose

I need to replace my Sportster that has the infamous blue screen of death.

I have been looking at the Edge and the Sportster 5 radios. Do any of you guys have either one of these and if so can you give me the pros and cons of each so I can make a choice?

Thanks guys.

Brian

I just got the Edge last week.

Pros: Color screen, 2.0 channels
Cons: No features like tuneselect or sports ticker

I've had an Edge since October.

Pro: Nice clear sound at low volume, attractive looking, blue keys and different colored screens by channel,colored browse menu with current song on channel,browse by category, 20 minute buffer with replay list, works with xm remotes, gets extra 2.0 channels like SXM Comes Alive, Dirty Dog, Carlin and Luna.

Con: Cannot change screen color, no recording or actual 2.0 features like the Lynx, replay list lost on channel change, need all access subscription if you want Howard.

Sportster 5's main upside is it will allow you to keep the same Sirius network sub you already have. The screen resolution isnt as nice as the Edge and it's not 2.0 capable. It does allow you change color themes. Sports ticker is also retained.

I noticed that it has been discontinued at TSS. The Sportster 5 that is.

It is discontinued. We would hope some refurbished kits become available at some point but I cant say for sure on that. There are refurbished Starmate 5's and now refurb Stiletto 2's available at TSS.
