Default Just purchased MXL, should I return for MXL2?

I got a sale price on the MXL but now I'm wondering if I should return it for the MXL2, I kind of like the track map and the color configuration capability.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what I should do?

Thanks,

Jeff

Track map on the display of the MXL2 is not yet enabled. The color background configuration is useful for alarms. The real benefit is having all accelerometers working and better "behind the scenes" functionality. The screen options are more readable and better. The MXL does not always come with an antenna, the MXL2 always comes with an antenna. Depending on how many sensors you use, you may need an additional harness on the MXL2.

Eventually, the feature list on the MXL2 should be quite good. Video and data syncing, smart alarms, wireless data transfer, etc. But I have plenty of people running MXL's now that are completely satisfied. Your choice, and the data is compatible between the dash display loggers...

Good luck!

I sent you a PM with my thoughts. On a new buy, the MXL2 is the way to go.
