I could not tell a difference back to back. Just a newer model. It does supposedly have better GPS accuracy, but I never noticed a difference.

Take a look at the Alfano 6 if you want the latest/greatest at the cheapest price. They are a very fine piece for the 206 class and can be gotten for only $390 through Ghost Racing Engines (812-565-2209) or many other fine retailers. As capable as the Mychron 5 for most 206 racers and includes an app to view/review data on your phone.
