    The helix will be much easier transition from the 1198. Solix is great with the touchscreen but you will find it challenging to learn all the options and operational differences. I went from an 1198 to a Solix 12. I have been involved in digital electronics since the 60's and found it challenging. Unless you are up for a learning experience you would find the Helix a much easier transition experience. Bob
    Note: I got $600 a few months ago for my "clean" and totally functional 1198.
