No, it is not.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
The Ultrex is good but it is old technology, the new brushless motors are just coming on the scene. I am sure future version of the Ultrex will tend towards brushless or the Ultrex will go away like the MG Tour did a few years back...
That is the reason for the $1000 difference in price with the others - brush vs brushless

Just a little info on why Motor Guide did away with Tour edition motor. They came out with the X3/X5 model. That was a very bad move. They are even further behind. (Motor Guide that is). They still have brushes. Although it is more efficient Motor Guide and Minn Kota have not introduced brushless motors yet. I am sure it is in the works.
I don't know where you getting your info, but with the intro of Garmin and Lowrance TM it does present a new standard to the market, but as far as Ultrex being old technology, I would put my money on Ultrex until I have seen what Lowrance and Garmin will do. So far I have not heard of any issues with them. We will see.
