B&G H5000 pilot -- worth it?

[Dockhead]

My electronics are still a work in progress, and I really hope to nail them this year finally. I'm chasing the unicorn of valid true wind.



The main issue I have now is STW but I now have several different transducers, and I have high hopes of getting at least one of them working ok.


I'm using an H5000 sailing computer with the H5000 motion sensor, with a Furuno SCX-20 satellite compass. I have a racing version of the LCJCapteurs wind sensor, and I have been through a box full of speed logs including an Airmar DX900+, Airmar UST850, and now an NKE ultrasonic and a mechanical Signet blue top to try over the winter.



I'm wondering whether -- since I've gone almost all-in with the H5000 gear, whether I shouldn't try the H5000 pilot computer? I have an AC42 which I have been using since 2013 which is generally competent, so basically, "pretty good", but if the H5000 can use data from the motion sensor and has better software, maybe this will be much better, and worth the cost?


Anyone have any experience?

I've yet to see a pilot that tells you what data it actually uses, so really hard to tell if any give pilot uses more/different data vs another pilot.
