Been using a 701hdv all season, going to upgrade to a 501hdv or 503hdv.  Does anyone own one of these or knows any big differences other than the price?

Look around for the old 501 or 503 used. The new 501 and 503 heads are crappy, old version is the way to go.

This is it for reference

Do you want to sell your 701hdv head?
If yes, I'm interested!

I can vouch. Don't waste your money.

Maybe upgrade to something bigger and better than a 501/503........... I doubt you'll see much of an improvement, maybe some.
