     Stand corrected.  Was not aware that there <was> a 501 plus.  At that 
     price, it does sound like a good deal.
     
     Got the info on the 520 from the Defender catalog.

                                I'm sorry Jack, I quoted what was available on
Apelco's Home page...
The reference was to the "501 Plus"  Since they make no mention of a "501." 
I dopped off the "plus" for the sake of brevity. <shrug>  
     
                        The 501 Plus is listed at West Marine for about $189 and
[according to
Apelco's page] has the <same> "waterproof" spec's that the <510> does.
     
                        Where did you get the information on the 520?  It is not
listed on
Apelco's page.
     
     
                                        Take care,
