O.K. guys and gals, I'm getting rid of my 901 cdx and ordering the new Patriot 929 on Tuesday. I've read all of the previous posts about the Opti vs. EFI and need a little more encouragement to spend the extra $2,300 on the Opti.( actually have to convince the wife ) I am aware of the promotion that Mercury is running now until 15 April on the Opti, which is 5 years of protection at no cost. I have been leaning toward the Opti but my dealer is trying to talk me out of it, saying that I would be just paying for research and developement and the differance is minimal. I have been a member of this board for over a year and have gotten tons of great info and many laughs. Even though I rarely post, I read it every day.
