Been quoted only a1000 e less for a 350 over a 750 with an ezpilot pro wheel motor

That's interesting. I know next to nothing about the 350 so what's the benefit of the 750 is it just that you can upgrade to better accuracies in the future? Presumably second hand value might be a bit more robust for a 750 as well.

Sorry I misread the title, I have a 750.
Personally I’d want a bigger discount to go down to a 350 with its smaller screen and limited upgrade options.

No experience of the 350 but I've just changed from a CFX750 to a GFX 750. Only used it a few times but it's nice and easy to operate. We run it on Rangepoint with integrated auto steer.

The 350 looks very much like a cheap light bar, no accuracy unlocks so wouldn't be a lot of point with auto steer - certainly when I've run ours on Egnos it's been noticeable.

Anybody running the GFX-350 with Viewpoint RTX? Is it much of an upgrade compared to EGNOS or step down from Rangepoint?

I've just had a look on the Trimble website and it's described as sub-metre accuracy so at best sounds as if it's on par accuracy wise with Egnos. It is an RTX service so you should get less drift technically but you will still get some.

What was the upgrade cost?

From what I have heard the GFX is very user friendly.

Not really sure I’m afraid, part ex’d the tractor for a new one.

That's some GPS box if you px'd a tractor for it.

That was with the better receiver

Feedback on the GFX-350 :GFX-350 with Nav-500

Pros

1. good price ($2000 less than GFX750)
2. Screen is bigger than EZGuide 250
3. Comes with 5 satellite constellations for more accuracy and uptime than EZ-Guide
4. Upgradeable to a lot of intermediate and high end displays
5. Larger internal storage than EZ-Guide 250 (can save fields, vehicles, and impliments)

Cons:

1. Lightbar is small and harder to see than prior EZ-Guide 250
2. Licenses needed for EZ Steer and Field IQ
3. IMD needed for EZ Pilot which bring price very close to GFX750
