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.
