Good Morning:

I have no experience with this unit but having had an Aries for many years and having heard a number of negative comments from others about it, I would suggest that many negative comments about this unit might be from people who have not taken the time to understand and learn how to use it. The Aries is excellent but it does require a bit of work to get it and the sail set correctly - once done it works for hours without attention.

Cheers
